[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Once my soul w
as astray from
the heavenly
way
I was wretched
and blind as
could be
But my Savior
in love gave m
e peace from a
bove
When he reache
d down his han
d for me
[Chorus]
When the Savio
r reached down
for me
When he reache
d way down for
me
I was lost and
undone withou
t God or his S
on
When he reache
d down his han
d for me
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
I was near to
despair when H
e spoke to me
there
And He told me
that I could
be free
Then He lifted
me up, freed
my soul, fille
d my cup.
When He reache
d down His han
d for me.
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
How my heart d
oes rejoice wh
en I hear his
sweet voice
In the tempest
to him I can
cling
There to lean
on his arm saf
e secure from
all harm
When he reache
d down his han
d for me
[Chorus]
[Outro]
When my Savior
reached down
for me.
