When He Reached Down His Hand For Me

1 Timothy 1:15  This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


The best thing I ever did in my life was to believe in Jesus. 


Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul.  Where would I be without you?


When He Reached Down His Hand For Me

______________________________________


Once my soul was astray from the heavenly way,    —    And was wretched and vile as could be;    —    But my Savior in love gave me peace from above,    —    When He reached down His hand for me.


CHORUS:

When my Savior reached down for me,    —    When my Savior reached down for me; — I was lost and undone, without God or His Son, —   When my Savior reached down for me.


I was near to despair when He came to me there,    —    And He showed me that I could be free;    —    Then He lifted my feet, gave me gladness complete,    —    When He reached down His hand for me. - - -


How my heart does rejoice when I hear His sweet voice    —    In the tempest—to Him I then flee,    —    There to lean on His arm, safe, secure from all harm,    —    Since He reached down His hand for me. - - -


G. E.  Wright  1920
