'Touch the Blue Sky' : New Worship Song for Today

Touch the Blue Sky 9 10 99

TUNE: Assurance

When I am crying, Your hand’s in mine;

Saviour, I know Your presence divine:

Looking towards You, asking You ‘Why?’

I can reach up and touch the blue sky.

Lord I am seeking, seeking to praise;

Looking to heaven, my hands I raise.

Reaching to heaven, who can deny,

I can reach up and touch the blue sky.

When I am dreaming, in the dark night,

You reach to touch me, and say it’s alright;

Then comes the morning, I ask you ‘Why?’

I reach to heaven and touch the blue sky.

Lord I am seeking, seeking to praise;

Looking to heaven, my hands I raise.

Reaching to heaven, who can deny,

I can reach up and touch the blue sky.

Closer and closer, Lord, I behold,

The greater Your touch, the greater Your hold;

Till the time brings no need to ask ‘Why?’

I will be with You in the blue sky.

Lord I am seeking, seeking to praise;

Looking to heaven, my hands I raise.

Reaching to heaven, who can deny,

I can reach up and touch the blue sky.

Waking or dreaming, one thing I see,

Lord, where you are is where I want to be;

Reaching out to You, now I know I’m

Blessed by Your grace up in the blue sky.

Lord I am seeking, seeking to praise;

Looking to heaven, my hands I raise.

Reaching to heaven, who can deny,

I can reach up and touch the blue sky.
