Townes Van Zandt - When He Offers His Hand lyrics

By 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 amongst the pilgrims In their golden array When he offers his hand Don't you turn him away 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 I hope as i'm leavin' My message is clear It's a fool that would turn down A gift that's so dear When he offers his blood Your depts to repay Now he offers his hand Don't you turn him away
