[Verse 1]
He'd stand every Sunday at the old-fashioned altar
And bid the sinner to come
There came a morning
He said, someone here's running
And I knew that I was the one
And though It's been years since I made Jesus mine
If for only one moment I could go back in time

[Chorus]
I'd like to meet the preacher who prayed for the preacher
Who prayed with me down on my knees
I'd like to shake the hand that reached out a hand
To the hand that reached out to me

(Yes, he did)

[Verse 2]
I would thank him for preaching about sin and a Savior
and the blood that forever atones
I thanked him for truth and not a watered-down gospel
It's the rock that I'm standing on
Oh, we all have someone who showed us the way
And if I could meet a soldier in the army of faith

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

I'd like to shake the hand that reached out a hand
To the hand that reached out to me
Oh yes, he reached out
Yes, he reached out to me
