Reach Out to Jesus

(Carmichael)

 

Information:

Ralph Carmichael wrote this gospel tune, which Elvis recorded on June 8, 1971, at RCA's Nashville studios. Most of the tracks at the two-day session were gospel songs.

 

Lyrics:

 

Is your burden heavy as you bear it all alone?
Does the road you travel, harbour dangers yet unknown?
Are you growing weary in the struggle of it all?
Jesus will help you when on His name you call

1. He's always there hearing every prayer, faithful and true
Walking by our side, in His love we hide all the day through
When you get discouraged just remember what to do

Reach out to Jesus, He's reaching out to you

Is the life you're living filled with sorrow and despair?
Does the future press you with its worries and its care?
Are you tired and friendless, have you almost lost your way?
Jesus will help you, just talk to Him today

 

1. (repeat)

C’mon and reach out to Jesus

I said to reach out to Jesus

He’s reaching out to you
