[Verse 1]
I've got to have You there beside me
No matter what it takes to be
I've got to feel Your presence ever at my side
Oh, I can't hide all the things You mean to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Through every moment that I'm living
Through every smile, I feel inside
Through every tear that ever trickles from my eye
Oh, I can't hide all the things You mean to me

[Chorus]
And I've got to know You're there
I've got to know You're there beside me
Waiting for me, watching o'er me
Guarding all my life

[Chorus]
And I've got to know You're there
I've got to know You're there
And I can't live without You
Love without You
Be without the knowledge that You're there

[Verse 2]
And I've got this feeling inside of me now
That won't let go
It tells me of truth, of love
For everything living is You
In Your strength, not in mine
In Your Word, in Your love
Let me be what You want for all of my life
[Pre-Chorus]
Then when I think about tomorrow
I know it won't be yesterday
'Cause everything I've ever done to make You cry
I needn't hide
'Cause I know You're right there by me

[Chorus]
And I've got to know You're there
I've got to know You're there beside me
Waiting for me, watching o'er me
Guarding all my life

[Chorus]
And I've got to know You're there
I've got to know You're there
And I can't live without You
Love without You
Be without the knowledge that You're there

[Outro]
I've got to know You, got to know You're there
You're there
You're there
