Words and music: John Schlitt and Rich Gootee

Sometimes the night seems to go on for days
When it's hard to see the light through the darkness and haze
While the world around you makes you feel out of place
And the burdens that you carry are just too hard to face

Just reach out and He'll reach in
Take your broken heart and make it whole again
It don't matter who you are or where you've been
Just reach out and He'll reach in

Standing in a crowd but still all alone
Crying out for answers that nobody knows
Everybody's busy looking out for themselves
Is there anyone who really cares about anyone else'

You say you've walked ten thousand steps away
But don't you know that it's only one step back
Because the One who hears you when you pray
Is the One who's there beside you
And He'll never walk away
