[Verse 1]
I am a seeker, a poor simple creature
There is none weaker than I am
I am a seeker and you are a teacher
You are a reacher, so reach down
[Verse 2]
Reach out and lead me, guide me and keep me
In the shelter of your care each day
I am a seeker and you are a keeper
You are a leader, won't you show me the way?
[Verse 3]
I am a vessel that's empty and useless
I am a bad seed that fell by the way
I am a loser that wants to be a winner
You are my last hope, don't turn me away
[Verse 1]
I am a seeker, a poor simple creature
There is none weaker than I am
I am a seeker and you are a teacher
You are a reacher, so reach down
[Verse 2]
Reach out and lead me, guide me and keep me
In the shelter of your care each day
I am a seeker and you are a keeper
You are a leader, won't you show me the way?
[Verse 4]
Hey, you are a mountain from which there flows a fountain
So let its water wash my sins away
I am a seeker and you are a teacher
You are a leader, won't you show me the way?
I am a seeker, a poor simple creature
There is none weaker than I am
I am a seeker and you are a teacher
You are a reacher, so reach down
[Verse 2]
Reach out and lead me, guide me and keep me
In the shelter of your care each day
I am a seeker and you are a keeper
You are a leader, won't you show me the way?
[Verse 3]
I am a vessel that's empty and useless
I am a bad seed that fell by the way
I am a loser that wants to be a winner
You are my last hope, don't turn me away
[Verse 1]
I am a seeker, a poor simple creature
There is none weaker than I am
I am a seeker and you are a teacher
You are a reacher, so reach down
[Verse 2]
Reach out and lead me, guide me and keep me
In the shelter of your care each day
I am a seeker and you are a keeper
You are a leader, won't you show me the way?
[Verse 4]
Hey, you are a mountain from which there flows a fountain
So let its water wash my sins away
I am a seeker and you are a teacher
You are a leader, won't you show me the way?
