Lyrics behind the cut:

OUTSTRETCHED ARMS

Here am I with outstretched arms
Spread out upon the cross
Waiting to catch your fall
To greet you when you're lost
And I know that you are frightened
Wondering can you count on me?
But here am I with outstretched arms
That want to comfort thee

The road to life is long and hard
With falls along the way
I've walked that road a thousand times
I've known each person's pain
When you think that you cant take it anymore
You can't go on
I'll pick you up and take your hand
Then we'll continue on

I hear you calling out my name
But then you turn away
You think that I've abandoned you
Not listening when you pray
But you know I had to die
Before I rose on that third day
Believe in me and you will see the wisdom of my ways

Here am I with outstretched arms
Spread out upon the cross
Waiting to catch your fall
To greet you when you're lost
And I know that you are frightened
Wondering can you count on me?
But here am I with outstretched arms
That want to comfort thee
