Just Reach Out (Wake-Up Call Version) Lyrics


Sometimes the night seems to go on for days
When it's hard to see the light through the darkness and haze
While the world around you makes you feel out of place
And the burdens that you carry are just too hard to faceJust reach out and he'll reach in
Take your broken heart and make it whole again
It don't matter who you are or where you've been
Just reach out and he'll reach inStandin' in a crowd but still all alone
Cryin' out for answers that nobody knows
Everybody's busy lookin' out for themselves
Is there anyone who really cares about anyone else?Just reach out and he'll reach in
Take your broken heart and make it whole again
It don't matter who you are or where you've been
Just reach out and he'll reach inYou say you've walked ten thousand steps away
But did you know that it's only one step back?
Because the one who hears you when you pray
Is the one who's there beside you and he'll never walk awayJust reach out and he'll reach in
Take your broken heart and make it whole again
It don't matter who you are or where you've been

Just reach out and he'll reach inJust reach out and he'll reach in
Take your broken heart and make it whole again
It don't matter who you are or where you've been
Just reach out and he'll reach inReach out your way
Reach out your way
Reach out your way
Reach out your way
You know I love you

There is more than one artist with this name:

1) Petra is a Christian Rock band formed in 1972 by Bob Hartman, Bill Glover, John DeGroff, and Greg Hough. "Petra" means "rock" in NT Greek, making the band name a triple pun. Rising from the jesus music movement, and initially signed to [recordlabel]Myrrh Records[/recordlabel], they fought to gain acceptance and recognition in a church culture that at the time believed rock music to be off-limits. Over time they eventually won over most of their critics, thanks to a steady approach and some solid adult contemporary airplay hits like "The Coloring Song," outside of their usual rock fare. By the mid-80's, when lead singer Greg X. Volz left the band and was replaced by John Schlitt, Petra had solidified their place as the foremost Christian rock band in the industry with a string of hit albums and singles and strong touring. The release of Petra Praise: The Rock Cries Out marked a turn towards modern-sounding worship music that would soon explode into the modern worship movement.

Petra was nominated for and won numerous Grammy and Dove Awards. In 1991, after the release of their acclaimed Beyond Belief record, Petra became the first rock band ever to win for Group of the Year at the Dove Awards. They were also the first Christian rock band to be inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

For three decades Petra continued to produce albums despite changes in their line-up as well as the genre and market. On May 24th, 2005 Petra announced their retirement after 33 years of ministry. They recorded one of their final performances in Franklin, Tennessee to release it as their last album, Farewell. Their last performance finished in the early hours of January 1, 2006 in Murphy, North Carolina. Bob Hartman and John Schlitt continue to tour under the moniker II Guys from Petra.
