Reach Out

Reach out your heart in love
And you're holding God's hand
You know that on your own
You cannot stand

Reach out your arms in love
And he'll hold onto you
You know that every day
He's watching you

Reach up to the skies
See his creation with new eyes
See the love past the pain
See the healing in the rain
Hear the sound of glory
Around the bend of hurting

Reach out with one foot
And the other will follow
You know the Father's planned
Your every tomorrow

Reach out a finger
To catch a falling tear
You know when you believe
Our God is always here

Reach up to the skies
See his creation with new eyes
See the love past the pain
See the healing in the rain
Hear the sound of glory
Around the bend of hurting

Reach out with love in your arms
Embrace a child begging for warmth
Just yesterday it was you
Not knowing that the sky is blue
True love is true

Reach out a willing spirit
And God will send you forth
You know you will become
A lantern for the door

Reach out selfless soul
And He will set you free
You know that when you die in him
You gain eternity

Reach up to the skies
See his creation with new eyes
See his past the pain
See his healing in the rain
Hear the sound of his glory
Around the bend of hurting

Reach out
With faith in your eyes
He's waiting to take you to the sky
The yesterdays are gone in love
You know in Jesus his love is enough

Reach out your heart in love
And you're holding God's hand
You know that on your own
You cannot stand
