Lyrics

Drifted away from your mo­ther’s pray­ers,
Drifted away, think­ing no one cares;
Jesus is call­ing, while mer­cy spares,
His love reach­es down to you.

Refrain

His love reach­es down to you,
His love reach­es down to you;
O be not dis­mayed,
Tho’ far you have strayed,
His love reach­es down to you.

Hasten and turn from the world away,
Turn from the things that hold you as­tray;
Come back to God, while He calls to­day,
His love reach­es down to you.

Refrain

Love, so un­mea­sured, so full and free,
Flows like a riv­er for you and me;
Only be­lieve it and you shall see,
His love reach­es down to you.

Refrain

Shadows are ga­ther­ing, night is near,
Why do you lin­ger in doubt and fear?
List to the mes­sage so full of cheer,
His love reach­es down to you.
