Lyrics Kim Burrell – Father I Stretch
Text:
Looking out of the window hoping for a lovely day
Only to find someone has lost their way
Wondering why the reason but knowing sin has taken place
For sin the price we have to pay
So father, I stretch my hand to thee
No other help I know
If thou withdraw thyself from me
Tell me, whither shall I go?
Help me
We search for answers in the things that we can’t define
For life, for hope to ease our troubled minds
Lord, give us peace of mind
If You give us peace of mind we’ll pray
And it’ll be the key to our faith
And we’ll unlock every door
So we must trust and believe
Beyond there is so much more
Father, I stretch my hand to thee
No other help I know
If thou withdraw thyself from me
Don’t ever leave me, I couldn’t make it, Lord
Tell me, whither shall I go?
Father, I stretch my hand
No other help I know
I don’t know anybody else that can help me like You
That’s why I say if thou withdraw thyself from me
Don’t ever leave me, tell me, whither shall I go?
He’s all I need, come to think of it
Sometimes we don’t know God is all we need
Until God is all we have
I’m sick of you, I don’t want to do this any more, I want out, get out
The heartbreak of losing a child
Oh no, not my baby
Money issues
This stuff makes you know you have to have God
Losing your house
No one wants to hear that sound of a flat behind but your family couldn’t make the tour
But it happens
But we have God
You’re our only hope and You’re my help
You are my God and how I need You
You’re the present help in trouble
My God, help us, God
You are my God and You’re all that I
Oh God, You are my God
The one that I can count on
The one that I can lean and depend on
You’re everything we need
You are God
When I look back over my life
It only is Jesus for me
I know I couldn’t make it
I know that you would never leave me
That’s why I’m depending on You
Cause He’s all I need
Everything I’ll need
I know where I can go
