When He Offers His Hand Lyrics - Sunshine Boy: The Unheard Studio Sessions & Demos 1971-1972 - 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 '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
