I Can Reach For Him

No more simplicity, nothing more to see,
all I wanted, has no meaning,
I no longer, want to search, for things that I can see,
I no longer, have desire, to be what I want to be,
All that's needed, now is Jesus, I've no worry, for He's here,
He's very, very near, in my heart I know H'es here.

 Chorus: I can lean upon His word, never doubt His faithful hand;
        Reaching for me always, I can reach for Him.

I don't have an empty void, nothing now to fill,
I have a wondrous God, a saviour and a friend.
He's everything I need, He's everything I want,
Longing now for His embrace, nothing less but so much more.
So much to tell, so much to say, so much to share;
what's in my heart, Jesus saves, He really saves!

  Chorus: I can lean upon His word, never doubt His faithful hand;
         reaching for me always, I can reach for Him.

What do I offer you?, but Christ and His love,
Christ and His power, salvation and faith;
Trust in Him fully, you'll never regret.
Change will be given, you'll know just where it's from,
no man can tell you, no expressions to use,
no vocabulary to find, the words come from The Lord.

  chorus: I can lean upon His word, never doubt His faithful hand,
         reaching for me always, I can reach for Him.
