Reach Out
Fr Rob Galea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
why are you running away
so far from all that you know is true,
what has the world done to you?
You get up only to find yourself crushed again
beneath the weight of your loneliness
There is a way if only you would trust
Reach out
to the hands that are longing to save you
Cry out
to the One who has loved you and made you
To the God who will never forsake you
Little boy
don't wipe those tears from your eyes
though darkness be your only company
You can still be all you want to be
You can still be all you want to be
Reach out to the hands that are longing to save you
Cry out to the One who has loved you and made you
Reach Out
Through the storm,
through it all
I will cry out and sing a Hallelujah
Reach out
to the hands that are longing to save you
Cry out
to the One who has loved you and made you
Cry out, reach out, cry out
To the God who will never forsake you
Fr Rob Galea's song Reach Out is a powerful anthem of redemption and hope for those who feel lost, alone, and hopeless. The song speaks to the hearts of those who have experienced pain and suffering, encouraging them to reach out to God and trust in His promises of love and salvation. The lyrics are addressed to a little girl and a little boy, who represent all of us in our moments of despair and doubt.
The first stanza begins with a question, asking the little girl why she is running away from what she knows is true. The world has hurt her, and she feels crushed by the weight of her loneliness. But the lyrics offer a hope beyond her pain, telling her that there is a way if only she would trust. This hope is echoed in the chorus, which encourages her to reach out to the hands that are longing to save her, to cry out to the One who has loved her and made her, and to trust in the God who will never forsake her.
The second stanza continues this theme of hope, speaking to the little boy and telling him not to wipe away his tears. He may be in darkness, but he can still be all he wants to be. The chorus repeats its call to reach out to God, reminding us that even in the midst of the storm, we can cry out and sing a Hallelujah. The final words of the song are a powerful affirmation of God's love and faithfulness, telling us to cry out, reach out, and trust in the God who will never forsake us.
