When the days feel dark and cold,
when sadness fills my life.
When my heart is filled with pain
and all I face is strife.
I'll turn to You my precious Lord,
I'll reach up to the sky.
For I know You really care.
when all I do is cry.

My heart is reaching out to You,
I know You understand.
I know You want to get me through,
so guide me by Your hand.
I know You stay with me each day,
You catch me when I fall.
O Lord to You I'm reaching out,
and I give to You my all.

I give to You my scrapes and scars,
my sorrows and my strife.
I give You all my worries Lord.
The problems in my life.
My heart is heavy but I know,
this pain You'll take away.
So Lord I'm reaching out to You
and I know I'll be okay.

My heart is reaching to You Lord,
I long to trust You more.
I long to feel You close to me,
and feel Your blessings pour.
You always have and always will
be all I'll ever need.
So Lord I'll keep on reaching out,
and follow where You lead.
