Reach Out and Love Again
(Rich Mullins, Brown Bannister, and Pam Mark Hall)
as recorded by Pam Mark Hall on the album Supply and Demand
Took the risk to be open, gave everything I had 
Trusting words that were spoken, believing I'd always have 
Streams of love flowing through me, pouring through my life 
But now I look and I find my well is dry 
Lord, I've been broken, life has driven me to my knees 
Here's my heart, won't You hold it, so at last my arms can be free 
To reach out in love again, not have to pretend, not have to be afraid 
To reach out and love again, and give my heart away 
When love leaves you hurting, has left you used and torn 
It takes more than courage to try and love once more 
So I come empty handed with nothing left of me 
And I find that I'm standing where I need to be 
Lord, I've been broken, life has driven me to my knees 
Here's my heart, won't You hold it, so at last my arms can be free 
To reach out in love again, not have to pretend, not have to be afraid 
To reach out and love again, and give my heart away 
To reach out in love again, not have to pretend, not have to be afraid
 
To reach out and love again, and give my heart away 
To reach out in love again, not have to defend the heart You've already saved
 
A love like the love You gave
