9899. His Love Reaches Down To You

1 Drifted away from your mother’s prayers,
Drifted away, thinking no one cares;
Jesus is calling, while mercy spares,
His love reaches down to you.

Refrain:
His love reaches down to you,
His love reaches down to you;
O be not dismayed,
Tho’ far you have strayed,
His love reaches down to you.

2 Hasten and turn from the world away,
Turn from the things that hold you astray;
Come back to God, while He calls today,
His love reaches down to you. [Refrain]

3 Love, so unmeasured, so full and free,
Flows like a river for you and me;
Only believe it and you shall see,
His love reaches down to you. [Refrain]

4 Shadows are gathering, night is near,
Why do you linger in doubt and fear?
List to the message so full of cheer,
His love reaches down to you. [Refrain]
