The Oak Ridge Boys perform a traditional Christian song that expresses deep dependence on God and gratitude for salvation. The lyrics begin with a prayerful plea, stretching hands to the Father, acknowledging that without Him there is nowhere else to go. The song then reflects on Jesus bearing the cross alone to set the world free, and the personal application that there is a cross for each believer. It concludes with a testimony of being made whole and saved by Jesus, who lifted the singer and set their feet on solid ground. The song emphasizes faith, surrender, and the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice.

Father I stretch my hands to thee

No other hand have I Lord

If thy withdraw thyself from me

Tell me whither, oh whither shall I go

 

'Cause Jesus bared the cross alone

And all the world go free

Lord now there's a cross for everyone

And I know there's a cross for me

 

I know it was Jesus who made me whole

I know it was Jesus who saved my soul

He picked me up, turned me around

Put my feet on solid ground
