Help us not pretend it's easy We're just fine and so happy This is why we're here We're all hurting, we're trying, we're needy If we're gonna pray, sing, preach Through it all we need You We're here because we know You're here Because You're always near When we are here, oh We love because we know Your love Because You always love When we are here There's something in the air, feels like heaven When we meet You here together This is why we're here, we're needed There's a seat saved at the table You're calling us to taste and see Through it all we need You We're here because we know You're here Because You're always near When we are here, oh We love because we know Your love Because You always love When we are here Without You it's smoke and mirrors Without You it's only noise But with You it's holy wonder Resurrection power and joy Without You it's on our shoulders Without You it's bound to fail But with You the weak and weary Shake the very gates of hell Oh We're here because we know You're here Because You're always near When we are here, oh We love because we know Your love Because You always love When we are here ♪ Deuteronomy 1:31 You saw how the Lord your God brought you through the desert He carried you everywhere you went Just as a father carries his son And now you have arrived here
