God Reaches Down

God reaches down to hold your hand, to help our hearts to understand. Forever near when we believe, in all the help our minds receive.  He’s always close in times of need if we but let Him take the lead.  God reaches down in tender love, and lends His peace from there above.  He’s with us through the longest night; we’re in His gentle, caring sight.  He speaks to us in loving tone and shares the moments we’re alone.  Life never would be quite the same without His help through hurt and pain.  A part of everyday we live, so much of hope and faith to give, His saving grace lends true renown…In love, ‘tis God who reaches down.
