When He Offers His Hand - 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
