You were there (Avalon)

I wonder how it must have felt
When David stood to face Goliath on a hill
I imagine that he shook with all his might
Until You took his hand, and held on tight

‘Cause You were there, You were there
In the midst of danger’s snare
You were there, You were there always
You were there when the hardest fight
Seemed so out of reach
Oh, You were there, You were always there
You were always there

So there he stood upon that hill
Abraham with knife in hand was poised to kill
But God in all his sovereignty had bigger plans
And just in time, You brought a lamb

‘Cause You were there,
You were there
In the midst of the unclear
You were there, you were there always
You were there when obedience
Seemed to not make sense
You were there, You were always there
You were always there

So haven’t I learned that my ways
Aren’t as high as Yours are
And You alone keep the universe
From crumbling into dust
You are God and though we would
Not have understood You
There You were

Hanging blameless on a cross
You would rather die than leave us in the dark
Every moment, every planned coincidence
Just all makes sense
With Your last breath

You were there, You were there
During history’s darkest hour
You were there, You were there always
You were the Victor and the King
You were the power in David’s swing
You were the calm in Abraham
You are the God who understands
You are the strength when we have none
You are the living, Holy one
You were, You are and You will always be
the Risen Lamb of God
You were, You are and You will always be
The Risen Lamb of God

Mi chiedo come deve essersi sentito
Davide quando era di fronte a Golia su un’altura
Immagino che tremasse tutto
Fino a che Tu non gli ha preso la mano, stringendogliela forte

Perché Tu c’eri, Tu c’eri
In mezzo ai lacci del pericolo
C’eri, ci sei sempre stato
C’eri quando il cimento più duro
sembrava così al di sopra della nostra portata
Sì, Tu c’eri, ci sei sempre stato
Ci sei sempre stato

Eccolo in piedi su quella collina
Abramo, il coltello nella mano, sul punto di uccidere
Ma Dio in tutto la suo regalità aveva progetti più grandi
E giusto in tempo, Tu portasti un agnello

Perché Tu c’eri,
Tu c’eri
In mezzo all’incertezza
Tu c’eri, ci sei sempre stato
Tu c’eri quando l’obbedienza
sembrava senza senso
Tu c’eri, ci sei sempre stato
Ci sei sempre stato

Quando capirò che le mie vie
Non sono alte quanto le Tue?
Tu solo fai in modo che l’universo
Non si sgretoli in polvere
Tu sei Dio e sebbene non
Ti capiamo talvolta
Tu ci sei

Appeso senza colpa su una croce
Preferisti morire piuttosto che lasciarci nelle tenebre
Ogni momento, ogni coincidenza pianificata
Tutto ebbe senso
Quando esalasti il tuo ultimo respiro

Tu c’eri, Tu c’eri
Nei momenti più bui della storia
Tu c’eri, ci sei sempre stato
Eri Vittoria e Re
Eri potenza nel colpo di Davide
Eri quiete di Abramo
Sei Dio che comprende
Sei forza quando non ne abbiamo
Sei il Vivente, il Santissimo
Eri, sei e sempre sarai
L’Agnello risorto di Dio

Eri, sei e sempre sarai
L’Agnello risorto di Dio
