A                                  D                                      
When He offers His hand, don't you turn Him away

       E                                        A                         
He can lead you to light through the darkest of days

                                          D                              
And with His love wrapped around you, you can't go astray

        A                          E        A                              
When He offers his hand, don't you turn Him away.
[Verse 1]
A                             D                                           
In a world full of trouble, a world full of hate

          A                                    E                          
You can't wait for tomorrow for tomorrow's too late.

         A                                   D                            
Come and stand 'mongst the pilgrims in their golden array

        A                          E        A                              
When He offers His hand, don't you turn Him away.
[Chorus]
A                                  D                                      
When He offers His hand, don't you turn Him away

       E                                        A                         
He can lead you to light through the darkest of days

                                          D                              
And with His love wrapped around you, you can't go astray

        A                          E        A                              
When He offers his hand, don't you turn Him away.
[Verse 2] 2 D Well I am no Simon, no Mathew, no Paul.
         A                                  E                             
It don't take an apostle just to answer His call.

       A                       D                                          
And it don't take a pilgrim to stand up and say

        A                          E        A                              
When He offers His hand, don't you turn Him away.
[Chorus]
A                                  D                                      
When He offers His hand, don't you turn Him away

       E                                        A                         
He can lead you to light through the darkest of days

                                          D                              
And with His love wrapped around you, you can't go astray

        A                          E        A                              
When He offers his hand, don't you turn Him away.
[Verse 3]
A                              D                                          
Well I hope as I'm leavin', my message is clear,

       A                                          E                       
It's a fool that would turn down a gift that's so dear.

        A                      D                                          
Well He offered His blood, our debts to repay,

       A                          E        A                               
Now He offers His hand, don't you turn Him away.
[Chorus]
A                                  D                                      
When He offers His hand, don't you turn Him away

       E                                        A                         
He can lead you to light through the darkest of days

                                          D                              
And with His love wrapped around you, you can't go astray

        A                          E        A                              
When He offers his hand, don't you turn Him away.
