"You Reach For Me"

Reach by Peter Furler

VERSE 1:
You hold the weight of the world
Still I don't slip through your hands
Your love is bigger
Than just an ocean built by man
I fall again and again,
But you whisper, You're still mine.
You feel the pain of the world,
But you never push mine aside.

CHORUS:
And You reach for me
With a love that quiets all my fears
And You reach for me
Like a Father wipes away the tears
So many people in this world,
But I hear You calling out my name.
You reach for me.
Now I�m never gonna be the same.
Oh, Oh

VERSE 2:
You know all of my fears
There's nothing Your eyes can't see.
When I tried to give up,
Lord, you never gave up on me.
I give You all of my hopes and dreams,
I lay them down.
Of all the place I've looked,
You're the one truth I have found.

CHORUS:
And You reach for me
With a love that quiets all my fears
And You reach for me
Like a Father wipes away the tears
So many people in this world,
But I hear You calling out my name.
You reach for me.
Now I'm never gonna be the same.
Oh, Oh

BRIDGE:
You hold the weight of the world,
Still I don't slip through Your hands.
You put the stars in the sky.
You know every grain of sand.

CHORUS:
But You reach for me
With a love that quiets all my fears.
And You reach for me,
Like a Father wipes away the tears.
So many people in this world,
But I hear You calling out my name.
You reach for me.
Now I'm never gonna be the same.
Oh, Oh

You reach for me.
For me.

In my "music to move the soul" blog post, I posted the lyrics to "Where Can I Go" by Paul Kyle, a song that brought me to a tender place in order to receive a renewal in my soul by the Spirit of God.  Whenever I hear that song, I go back to that moment in time that is like an ebenezer to me now.
This past Friday evening, I had an experience that spoke so very loudly to me.  And as usual a song came to mind that I could relate to the experience, "Reach" by Peter Furler, words above.  We were invited to visit with the very song writer of "Where Can I Go"  With his obvious Irish brogue, the sweet voice of his wife next to him and the talented bow of my dear friend Kabrena, he began to sing my song.  :-) .  At that very moment, I felt like the same God that made the moon and stars reached down and gave me a very personal experience. As if he whispered, "I do love you, I have not forgotten you or abandoned you. I will stay by your side in the hardest of moments and best of times"
What amazes me is that this very immeasurable God that is the God of all; is at the very same moment the God of one, his forgiven, beloved child, daughter, Tracy.  \o/
