Once my soul was astray from the heavenly way 
I was wretched and blind as could be 
But my Savior in love gave me peace from above 
When he reached down his hand for me 

   When the Savior reached down for me 
   When he reached way down for me 
   I was lost and undone without God or his Son 
   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 can cling 
There to lean on his arm safe secure from all harm 
When he reached down his hand for me
