When the Savior Reached Down for Me
When He Reached Down His Hand for Me
Author: G. E. W.; R. E. W. Hymnal: Melodies of Praise #238 (1957) First Line: Once my soul was astray from the heavenly way Lyrics: 1 Once my soul was astray from the heavenly way,
And was wretched and vile as could be;
But my Saviour above, gave me peace, joy and love,
When He reach’d down His hand for me.
Chorus:
When He reached down His hand for me,
When He reach’d down His hand for me;
I was lost and undone, without God or His Son,
When He reached down His hand for me.
2 I was nearing despair, when He came to me there,
And he showed me that I could be free;
Then He lifted my feet, gave me glory complete,
When He reach’d down His hand for me. [Chorus]
3 How my heart doth rejoice since I made Him my choice,
From the tempest to Him now I flee;
Now I lean on His arm, I’m secure from all harm,
Since He reach’d down His hand for me. [Chorus]
4 Since the Lord gave me peace heav’nly joys never cease,
Lord, I give all my life unto Thee;
Guide my feet, hold my hand, grant with Thee I may stand,
For you reach’d down your hand for me. [Chorus]

Winsett was born in Bledsoe County, Tennessee, and graduated from the Bowman Normal School of Music in 1899.
He founded his own publishing company in 1903, and his first publication, Winsett's Favorite Songs, quickly became popular among the Baptist and Pentecostal churches of the American South. Pentecostal Power followed in 1907; that year Winsett completed postgraduate work at a conservatory.
He married Birdie Harris in 1908, and had three sons and two daughters with her. He settled in Fort Smith, Arkansas, continuing to compose gospel songs, of which he would write over 1,000 in total. He became a minister in 1923, and was affiliated with the Church of God (Seventh Day).
Birdie Harris died late in the 1920s, and shortly thereafter Winsett moved back to Tennessee. He founded a new company in Chattanooga, and published more shape note music books. He remarried, to Mary Ruth Edmonton, in 1930, and had three further children.
Winsett's final publication, Best of All (1951), sold over 1 million copies, and in total his books sold over ten million copies. His song "Jesus Is Coming Soon" won a Dove Award for Gospel Song of the Year at the 1969 awards. He has been inducted into the Southern Gospel Museum and Hall of Fame.
