You hold the weight of the world / still i don't slip through Your hands / Your love is bigger than just a notion / built by man // i fall again and again / but You whisper, 'You're still mine' / You feel the pain of the world / but You never push mine aside // You reach for me / with a love quiets all my fears / You reach for me / like a Father wipes away the tears / so many people in this world / but i hear You calling out my name / You reach for me / now i'm never gonna be the same // You know all of my fears / there's nothing Your eyes can't see / when i tried to give up / Lord, You never gave up on me // i give You all of my hopes and dreams / i lay them down / of all the places i've looked / You’re the one truth i have found // You hold the weight of the world / still i don't slip through Your hands / You put the stars in the sky / You know every grain of sand

Behind the Song:
'Already a hit with Christian radio, “Reach” is as contagious as it is affirming, a piano/guitar driven modern pop melody (love the church bells) makes this, the first single, a ‘must repeat.’ The pureness of the lyric sets the song apart, but the message seals the deal, a powerful reminder that God is personal. He created the heavens and the earth, but he cares for us individually. We all need to hear it because the world could turn on a dime if believers actually believe this one.' - Melissa Riddle Chalos
