O! that sweet,sweet day,that cherished morn
When I was torn and worn sick and scorned
Groped in the dark,searching for a light
Then I found a pair of nail pierced hands ‘reaching out’
That showed me the Only Way that gets me out
Chorus:
Jus’ reach out, jus’ reach out
To those nail pierced hands
Take ’em up and never doubt
Then you’ll never go ‘out of hand’
On that rugged way,I soon began to stray
When I saw stones and thorns that ahead lay
Shunned with my strength but tumbled upon hearth
Then I flung upon those nail pierced hands ‘reaching out’
That leads me on the Way and lets me shout
Bridge:
So now I’ll keep
Rocking on,rocking on, As the days go by
Over life’s low and high
Will never cry, nevermore will sigh
For in those nail pierced hands
Will I whither fly.
So,
Jus’ reach out ….(to those nail pierced hands).
Never doubt …..(You’ll never go out of hand)
(Fading)
