WHEN HE REACHED DOWN HIS HAND FOR ME

by: Marion Easterling, Thomas & JFB Wright
Recorded by: Johnny Cash on My Mother's Favorite Hymnbook

Listen to the Tune

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

CHORUS:

When the Savior reached down 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.

 

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 reached down His hand for me.

2. How my heart does rejoice when I hear His sweet voice
In a tempest to Him I can cling.
I can lean on His arm safe and sure from all harm
When He reached down His hand for me.

CHORUS:
