He is Here

He is There

Before I can utter a sigh
Before water wells in my eye
Before the first sound of a cry

  He is There

Before the fear starts to subside
Before there's a hope to deny
Before there's no reason to die

  He is there

In the darkest night
His light can shine
And when all take flight
He says, "You're mine"

When hope disappears
and just doubt remains
He sees all my tears
He can feel my pain

Before I can whisper a sound
Before the speck becomes a mound
Before no one else is around

  He is there

Before I begin to despair
Before I think no one is there
Before I know no one else cares

  You are there
