WHEN HE REACHED DOWN HIS HAND FOR ME
1. Once my soul was astray from the
heavenly way,
And was wretched and vile as could
be;-
But my Saviour above, gave me
peace, joy and love,
When He reach’d down His hand
for me.
Chorus:
When He reached down His hand
for me,
When He reach’d down His hand
for me;
I was lost and undone, without God
or His Son,
When He reached down His hand
for me.
2. I was nearing despair, when He
came to me there,
And He showed me that I could be
free;
Then He lifted my feet, gave me
glory complete,
When He reach’d down His hand
for me.
3. How my heart doth rejoice since I
made Him my choice,
From the tempest to Him now I
flee;
Now I lean on His arm, I’m secure
from all harm.
Since He reach’d. down His hand
for me.
4. Since the Lord gave me peace
heav’nly joys never cease,
Lord, I give all my life unto Thee;
Guide my feet, hold my hand, grant
with Thee I may stand.
For you reach’d. down your hand
for me.
