  • I am a seeker
    A poor sinful creature
    There is no weaker than I am
    I am a seeker
    You are a teacher
    You are a reacher
    So reach down

    Won't You reach out and lead me
    Guide me and keep me
    In the shelter of Your care each day
    'Cause I am a seeker
    You are a keeper
    You are the leader
    Won't You show me the way

    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
    And You are my last hope
    Don't turn me away

    I am a seeker
    A poor sinful creature
    There is no weaker than I am
    I am a seeker
    You are a teacher
    You are a reacher
    So reach down

    Won't You reach out and lead me
    Guide me and keep me, lord
    In the shelter of Your care each day
    'Cause I am a seeker
    You are a keeper
    You are the leader
    Won't You show me the way

    Oh, I know, You are a mountain
    From which there flows a fountain
    So let its water wash my sins away, mm
    Well, I am a seeker
    You are a keeper
    You are the leader
    Won't You show me the way, mm Writer/s: Dolly Parton
