WHERE YOU ARE

(by Rich Mullins & Beaker)

 

CHORUS:

I’m talkin’ Daniel in the den of the lions

Talkin’ Jonah in the belly of a whale

Talkin’ three Hebrew children

And they’re standing in the furnace, the fiery furnace

But the fire didn’t burn them

And the lions didn’t bite

And the Lord reached down and you can be sure that

Everything turned out right

Oh you’ll meet the Lord in the furnace

Long time ’fore you meet Him in the sky

 

And where you are ain’t where you wish that you was

Well your life ain’t easy and the road is rough

But where you are is where He promised to be

From the ends of the world to every point of need

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

Meet Him in your time of trial

Meet Him in your hour of prayer

You can reach out and I’ll bet

That you’ll find that He’s right there

 

Where you are, however grim it may seem

This is real life baby—this ain’t no Hollywood dream

And where you are, no matter what you may face

You’re gonna find out real soon, what they mean they say

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

Meet Him in your time of trial

Meet Him in your hour of prayer

You can reach out and I’ll bet

That you’ll find that He’s there

 

And the fire won’t burn you

And the lions won’t bite

And the Lord will reach down and you can be sure that

Everything will turn out all right

Oh you’ll meet the Lord in the furnace

Long time ’fore you meet Him in the sky

Then you’ll meet Him in the sky
