• Lyrics for "Stretch Out Your Hand"

My sleep had fled from my eyes

I hid, alone in the darkness

Like one who cannot be found

I was thinking You wanted to harm us

Stretch out Your hand

Stretch out Your hand

Lord have mercy

Lord have mercy

(Chorus)

By Your mercy

You call me by name

By Your mercy

Its the end of my shame

By Your mercy

You are the Christ, my Lord, my God

And I am your servant

Everything changed

By Your mercy

Let me hear Your voice in the morning

I can rest in Your steadfast love

Lord, You know how I thirst for you

Like the dry land under the sun

Stretch out Your hand

Stretch out Your hand

Lord have mercy

Lord have mercy

For the enemy has pursued my soul;

he has crushed my life to the ground;

he has made me sit in darkness like those long counted as dead

Stretch out Your hand

Stretch out Your hand

Lord have mercy

Lord have mercy
