"You Are There" Old Version

February 10, 2010

This is the homemade recording from our sold-out demo CD—we're currently working on a beautiful new version in the professional studio!

Lyrics adaped from Tehillim 139

If I ascend to the Heavens, You are there,

And if I make my bed in the grave, behold, You are there

And if I ascend to the Heavens, You are there.

You are there, You are there, You are there.

Were I to take up wings as the dawn, wings as the dawn,

And dwell in the furthest part of the sea, far out to sea,

Were I to take up wings as the dawn, wings as the dawn,

There, too, Your hand would guide me, Your right hand would hold me.

Were I to say "Surely the darkness would shadow me,"

Were I to say "Surely the darkness would shadow me,"

Then the night would be as Light, surrounding me

As Light, around me, Light, around me, Light surround me!

Even the darkness hides nothing from You,

And the night shines like the Day,

The darkness is as light, the darkness is as light.

It is You , yes, it is You who created my mind, my heart,

You covered me, O You covered me, within my mother's womb.

I will thank You, yes, I will thank You, for I was formed in an awesome and wonderous way,

Unfathomable, unfathomable, unfathomable, are Your works....
