Lyric When He offers his hand

by Townes Van Zandt

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 amongst the pilgrims
in their golden array
When He offers his hand
don t you turn him away


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


I hope as I m leavin
my message is clear
it s a fool that would turn down
a gift that s so dear
When He offers his blood
your depts to repay
Now He offers his hand
don t you turn him away
