When He Reached Down

(intro)  D

          D                        A       D
Once my soul was astray from the heavenly way,
                           A            D
    I was wretched and as vile as could be,
                     D7            G           D
    but my Savior in love gave me peace from above,
                              A7      D
    when he reached down his hand for me.

         D              G       D
When my Savior reached down for me,
                          E       A  A7
when he reached down his hand for me,
       D         D7            G          D
I was lost and undone without God or his Son,
                          A       D
when he reached down his hand for me.

           D                         A              D
2. How my heart does rejoice when I hear his sweet voice
                       A         D
    in the tempest to him I do flee,
                          D7           G             D
    there to lean on his arm, safe, secure from all harm,
                              A       D
    when he reached down his hand for me.

when he reached down his hand for me,
       D         D7               G          D
I was lost and undone without my God or his Son,
                          A       D  G D
when he reached down his hand for me.
