Chris Tomlin + We The Kingdom - Reaching For You Lyrics

“Reaching For You” gathers several biblical names and images for Jesus into a direct expression of worship. He is praised as living water, the Lamb of God, giver of new life, healer, and victor over the grave. These declarations establish the reason for the central response: the singer reaches toward Christ and chooses to live for him. Hope rests not in uncertainty or distance, but in the identity and saving work attributed to Jesus throughout the song.

The later lines connect divine presence with freedom, light, and release from bondage. Their language suggests that Christ meets those who draw near and brings light into darkness. The repeated emphasis on his name also reflects the New Testament witness to the unique honor and authority given to Jesus. Rather than presenting worship as a single moment, the song describes an ongoing direction for life. Raised hands, nearness, and repeated confession all express reliance on Christ as the source of hope, freedom, and restored life.
