lyrics

Once my soul was astray from the heavenly way,
And was wretched, and vile as could be;
But my Savior above, gave me peace, joy and love,
When He reached down His hand for me – for me.

Chorus
When He reached down His hand for me –
When He reached down His hand for me –
I was lost and undone, without God or His Son,
When He reached down His hand for me – for me.

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 reached down His hand for me – for me.

~~~Chorus~~~

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 reached down His hand for me – for me.

~~~Chorus~~~

Since the Lord gave me peace, heavenly joys never cease.
Lord, I give all my life unto Thee.
Guide my feet, hold my hand, grant with Thee I might stand;
For You reached down Your hand for me – for me.

~~~Chorus~~~
