I’m reaching out so reaching out <br />Seeking the face of love <br />Calling in faith refusing to doubt <br />Hoping for life above <br /> <br />Beyond the sorrow beyond the pain <br />Beyond where eagles fly <br />Seeking Jesus to start again <br />Before in shame I die <br /> <br />I’ve heard The News I’ve seen The Light <br />I see the devil’s lies <br />I’m reaching out to win life’s fight <br />To He alone who’s wise <br /> <br />To He who showed His love for me <br />Who bore for me such pain <br />Who suffered death to set me free <br />And give me birth again <br /> <br />Oh I’m reaching out near and far <br />In depth and high above <br />I’m reaching out to You who are <br />The Living God of love <br /> <br />So desperate so much in need <br />So anxious chained and bound <br />I’m reaching out until I’m freed <br />Until on holy ground <br /> <br />I’m reaching out almighty King <br />Calling The Lord supreme <br />Creator God of everything <br />And Life’s eternal Stream <br /> <br />By grace my God You’ve given sight <br />In love You’ve called my name <br />You gave sweet Lord this robe of white <br />And set my heart aflame<br /><br />Michael P.
