Verse 1 She reaches out in desperation To a man who holds her hand Soon, he’s gone without hesitation Leaving her alone and lonely again The story is the same for her today As it was for so many gone before She yearns for a love that will bring Reassurance, kindness, encouragement A love that will make her feel understood With a man who can love her unconditionally CHORUS That love she’s searching for in the dark Is a love that only One can impart It’s the love of a Savior, the man, Jesus Who fills us with a sense of true peace And gives us the grace to share faith That is filled with hope and love, intimacy A sense of real joy that she’s never known Verse 2 Her hands shake as she opens up the door Entering a church for the first time for sure She’s heard about this God who gives love And she wants the answers sent from above Her tears fall as the preacher tells them Jesus will love them without ever failing them She yearns for a love this faithful and eternal Love that can’t be found in any man or other Form of addiction, sin or material thing It’s only alive with the One who created her Bridge Reach out and take the nail scarred hand It is here that you will always have a friend Reach out and take the nail scarred hand With Him, there is a love that knows no end

beautiful poem Gina... the image of Christ on the cross has always saddened me, even as a young child, i would look at the cross and try to imagine his pain... this is as touching as it is beautiful... love it... hugs and blessings!
