Youre Ready - Folk Hymnal Lyrics

When the world has got me down
And I'm empty like a ghost town
When desert sun has beat on me
And overwhelmed me by the heat
Just when I lose hope and think I am lost
Through the mirage is the truth of the cross
Like water to me when the whole world is dry
I know where my help will come from I reach for the sky
I reach for the sky, reach for the sky
When good and bad and ugly strain
Inside my mind I'm like a train
Who's out of fuel and out of fire
Won't move again I've no desire
But you give me fuel to start moving again
Through every failure and every sin
Where do you go when you've no strength to try
I know where my help will come from I reach for the sky
Reach for the sky, reach for the sky
Reach for the sky, reach for the sky
When trouble rides on in to town
And evil circles me around
God's my defense so I won't flee
I won't go down I'm packing heat
Reach for the sky, reach for the sky, reach for the sky
(For the sky) lord I lift my eyes
(For the sky) with my hands held high
(For the sky) you won't leave me dry no
(For the sky) God you always hear my cry
