The woman needed healing
Of that dreaded disease
Her money brought physicians
But only Jesus could bring relief
And though her last thread of hope
It was worn down to a strand
Her heart held on to faith
'Til she could touch Him with her hand

'Cause when you're hanging 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 hanging on
To a frayed and fragile faith
Are you clinging to the rocks
Above a canyon of dismay
Reach out for the lifetime
It will never break in two
Hold fast, don't lose heart
Once again, God will pull you through
'Cause when you're hanging 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 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
