Lyrics:
1. He is there when I sorrow/In my grief He makes me whole
He is there when I am joyful/His spirit warms my soul
He is there
2. He is there when I'm lonely/He sends a quiet flame
He is there when I am gathered/With others in His name
He is there
3. He is there in my weakness/And somehow I can endure
He is there and I am strengthened/By His mercy strong and sure
He is there

Story:
"He Is There" (Summer 2003, Fall 2004)
Fun story, a lot like "Like the Wind": While living in Arkansas, Amber was asked to sing at a wedding. We looked through our music, and she didn't find one she liked. In frustration, she said, "Oh, you just write me one in five minutes." So I did! :) The tune was called "What Is Love?" and was for voice and guitar (I had a shiny black Ovation at the time). "What Is Love?" is not a very good name for an LDS song, eh? So I re-wrote the lyrics to what they are for current distribution. I had a particularly fun time nailing down the fingerpicking tab for the piece. For any experienced guitar players, I actually use a capo up three frets and play and sing in the key of B major...
