                                       E7 A
Once my soul was astray from the heavenly way

                   E              A
I was wretched and blind as could be

                  A7          D            A
But my Savior in love gave me peace from above

                         E7       A  A7
When he reached down his hand for me
[Chorus]
         D                        A D A
When the Savior reached down for me

        F#m         B7       E7 B7 E7
When he reached way down for me

       A          A7          D          A
I was lost and undone without God or his Son

                         E7       A D A
When he reached down his hand for me
[Instrumental] A A7 D A A E7 A D A [Verse 2]
                                       E7 A
I was near to despair when He spoke to me there

                    E          A
And He told me that I could be free

                  A7           D               A
Then He lifted me up, freed my soul, filled my cup.

                         E7       A  A7
When He reached down His hand for me.
[Chorus] [Verse 3]
                                          E7    A
How my heart does rejoice when I hear his sweet voice

                  E          A
In the tempest to him I can cling

                     A7          D             A
There to lean on his arm safe secure from all harm

                         E7       A A7
When he reached down his hand for me
[Chorus] [Outro]
                       E7       A D A
When my Savior reached down for me.
