Arriving at church on Sunday morn
Laden with sickness and shame
Heavy with guilt and feeling forlorn He Touched Me
(Written by Bill Gaither)
Voices tell me things cannot change
“Shackled by a heavy burden
‘Neath a cloud of guilt and shame
But then the hand of Jesus touched me
And now I am no longer the same”
Chaos grips, my soul is churning
Feasting upon fear, agony
I hear the sound of an angel singing
Piercing through the malady
“He touched me, He touched me
And Oh the joy that floods my soul
Something happened, and now I know
He touched me, and made me whole”
Promises of strength unveiled
A light through darkness shines
Her words have in my heart prevailed
There for all of time
Author notes
For those of you who might have read this poem before, I would like for you to pay special attention to the credit on the song "He Touched Me". It was brought to my attention that I didn't credit this, and I wanted to make sure that everyone knew I wasn't trying to claim this work as my own. Rather, I was quoting it within my poem for effect. Sorry for the mix-up!!
