With outstretched arms,
I reach for you,
To ease my weary mind,
To take the burdens
Of the day,
And leave them all behind.

With childlike vision,
I search for you,
To open up my eyes,
To show me all you
Have for me,
And lead me to the prize.

With gladdened heart,
I sing to you,
To praise your work in me,
To rejoice in all
You have done,
To set my spirit free.
