He Is There: Sami Yusuf

Some might say this world today shows
God's left us to our mistakes oh
He has never been so far away
Some might say
How could any father stand
To see his children across so many lands
Suffer so and give no helping hand
No helping hand

And somewhere tonight
Far away and out of sight
There's a child that's too weak to cry
Look deep in those eyes
Can't you see him in disguise?
Reaching out to the heart that's in you and I

In every tear
That is where
He is there

He's the hand that wipes that brow
He's the tear that trickles down
Upon the face that cries without a sound
'We need you now'What a simple choice to make
Between what you give and what you take
When what you give
Such precious life precious life would save
Life would save

And somewhere inside
There's a part of you asks why
Would he leave so many so far behind
Look deep in those eyes
Can't you see him in disguise
Reaching out to the heart that's in you and I

In every tear
That is where
He is there

Look again don't hide your eyes
He is there in disguise
Reaching out to you and I
He is there in every tear
Not far away he's right here
Oh how could he be more near

My Only Wish: Sami Yusuf

All your armies, all your fighters
All your tanks, and all your soldiers
Against a boy holding a stone
Standing there all alone
In his eyes I see the sun
In his smile I see the moon
And I wonder, I only wonder
Who is weak, and who is strong?
Who is right, and who is wrong?
And I wish, I only wish
That the truth has a tongue

Without You: Sami Yusuf

Softly you called to me
Across the space between
Across eternity
Where love winds a path unseen

Out of the wilderness
You beckoned my every step
I stumbled sometimes and yet
I never once looked back

‘Cos I would see
The man I know I used to be
How I was lost before you reached for me
No I don’t know
Where I would go
What I would do

Without You
Without You
Without You

Like a heart between beats
I would feel nothing you see
If you took your love from me
I don’t know what more would life mean?

I'd use my final breathT
o call out your name and let
That breath upon the breeze
Rise like a kiss to thee

So you might see
Just what your love has meant to me
And what the cost of losing you would be
No I don’t know
Where I would go
What I would do

Without You
Without You
Without You

‘Cos I would see
The man I know I used to be
How I was lost before you reached for me
No I don’t know
Where I would go
What I would do

Without You
Without You
Without You
