The woman needed healin'
of that dreaded disease
Her money
brought physicians
But only Jesus
could bring relief
And though her last
thread of hope
was worn down to a strand
Her heart held on to faith
Till she could touch him
with her hand
'Cause when you're
hangin' by a thread
Still you can climb
life's mountain
Though the cliffs
are rough and jagged
You can cope
If you should slip
and reach rope's end
You'll find the hem
of his garment
So don't let go
of that last thread of hope
Is that you hangin' on to
a frayed and fragile faith
Are you clingin' to the rocks
above the canyon of dismay
Reach out for the lifeline
It will never break in two
Hold fast
and don't lose heart
Once again God
will pull you through
'Cause when you're
hangin' by a thread
Still you can climb
life's mountain
Though the cliffs
are rough and jagged
You can cope
If you should slip
and reach rope's end
You'll find the hem
of his garment
So don't let go
of that last thread of hope
If you should ship
and reach rope's end
You'll find the hem
of his garment
So don't let go
of that last thread of hope
