[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.
