Lyrics Townes Van Zandt

Townes Van Zandt

When He Offers His Hand

When He offers His hand, don't you turn Him away

He can lead you to light through the darkest of days

With His love wrapped around you, you can't go astray

When He offers His hand, don't you turn Him away

In a world full of sorrow, a world full of hate

You can't wait for tomorrow 'cause tomorrow's to late

Come and stand 'mongst the pilgrims in their golden array

When He offers His hand, don't you turn Him away

When He offers His hand, don't you turn Him away

He can lead you to light through the darkest of days

With His love wrapped around you, you can't go astray

When He offers His hand, don't you turn Him away

Well I am no Simon, no Matthew, no Paul

It don't take an Apostle to answer His call

And it don't take a Prophet to stand up and say

When He offers His hand, don't you turn Him away

Well I hope as I'm leavin' my message is clear

It's a fool that would turn down a gift that's so dear

Well He offered His blood your debts to repay

Now He offers his hand, don't you turn Him away

When He offers His hand, don't you turn Him away

He can lead you to light through the darkest of days

With His love wrapped around you, you can't go astray

When He offers His hand, don't you turn Him away
