The Mississippi Mass Choir Lyrics
"Having You There"

(choir)
We have come to praise and magnify the Lord
For all that He has done and for the victories we have won
In the good times and in the bad times
in the happy times and in the sad times
having You there made the difference
just having You there (having You there)

(repeat; add lead adlibs)

Bridge:
Having You there
Having You there
Just having You in my life made the difference,
just having You there (having You there).

(choir) Having You there
(lead) Having You there
(choir) Made the difference
(lead) Made the difference

(repeat call & response)

(choir)
When the storms of life are raging (lead repeats)
and the billows are tossing high (lead repeats)
You give me strength and courage (lead repeats)
because You were standing by (lead repeats)

(choir)
Having You there
Made the difference
Having You there
Made the difference

(lead)
I thank You for Your mercy,
I thank You for Your grace;
there is no other one who could ever take Your place.
When my friends walked out, You stepped right in,
You've always been with me, through the thick and the thin.

Having You there
Made the difference
Having You there
Made the difference

Having You there
Having You there
Just having You in my life (3x)
Just having You in my life (sopranos)
Just having You in my life (altos)
Just having You in my life (tenors/bass)

Just having You in my life
Just having You in my life
Made the difference
Just having You there
