Reaching Out - Phil Keaggy

Had a dream just yesterday

Though not asleep, I was awake

In my mind I saw these hollow faces

They were young and looked neglected

They weren’t loved, they were rejected

And their eyes despaired of happy places

Could a world so lost be found again?

Could a child so lonely find a friend?

Reaching out to feel the touch of one hand

Near the bedside of one dying

Down the hall a newborn crying

In my heart I have so many questions

In the season of the Spring

New life flows through everything

Though memories of some are cold reflections

Could a world so lost be found again?

Could a child so lonely find a friend?

Reaching out to feel the touch of one hand

A new city is being formed

May your weary hearts be warmed

Everyone who faints with sorrow enter

And when the pain is passed away

And the night has met the day

There the Son will melt away the winter

Could a world so lost be found again?

Could a child so lonely find a friend?

Reaching out the healing touch of God’s hand
