Story behind the song
Older man at our church. One day I was thinking what he must be thinking during the service.
Lyrics
The Outstretched Hand
Verse 1:
Brothers and sisters, I’ve seen many things.
I’ve heard countless sermons, heard church choirs sing.
Mostly I sit silent, but on God’s word I stand.
I’m waiting for Jesus, for his outstretched hand.
Verse 2:
Deep lines and wrinkles now cover my face
Old fingers tremble, in God’s word they keep place.
My destiny decided; I’m part of his plan
I’m patiently waiting, for his outstretched hand.
Verse 3:
My prayer for you, that you’ll meet him today
A wonderful Savior, His word lights your way.
And in that moment when together we will stand.
We’ll join Jesus, when we take the outstretched hand.
Chorus
Lord I’m waiting, waiting for thee
My time is coming, with loved ones I’ll be
I’ll continue to pray and keep your commands
Waiting here, for your outstretched hand.
Tag:
Waiting here, for your outstretched hand.
