When he reached way down for m e
I was l ost and undone w ithout my God or his S on
When he reached down h is hand for m e
I was near to despair when he c ame to me t here
And he showed me that I could be f ree
Then he lifted my feet g ave me gladness c omplete
When he reached down h is hand for m e
