Lyrics and translation Johnny Cash - When He Reached Down

When He Reached Down

Once my soul was astray from the Heavenly Way
I was wretched and as vile as could be
But my Savior in love gave me peace from above
When He reached down His hand for me

When my Saviour reached down for me
When He reached down His hand for me
I was lost and undone without God or His Son
When He reached down His hand for me

How my heart does rejoice when I hear His sweet voice
In the tempest to Him I do plea
There to lean on His arm safe secure from all harm
When He reached down His hand for me

When my Saviour reached down for me
When He reached down His hand for me
I was lost and undone without my God or his Son
When He reached down His hand for me

Quand Il M'a Tendu La Main

Autrefois, mon âme s'égarait loin du chemin céleste
J'étais misérable et aussi vil que possible
Mais mon Sauveur, dans son amour, m'a donné la paix d'en haut
Quand Il m'a tendu la main

Quand mon Sauveur m'a tendu la main
Quand Il m'a tendu la main
J'étais perdu et abattu, sans Dieu ni son Fils
Quand Il m'a tendu la main

Comme mon cœur se réjouit quand j'entends sa douce voix
Dans la tempête, je me tourne vers Lui pour supplier
Là, m'appuyer sur son bras, en sécurité contre tout danger
Quand Il m'a tendu la main

Quand mon Sauveur m'a tendu la main
Quand Il m'a tendu la main
J'étais perdu et abattu, sans mon Dieu ni son Fils
Quand Il m'a tendu la main
