TO TOUCH HIM

TO TOUCH HIM

Lead me, sweet Mary, to stand by your Son,

touch the hem of the garment you made.

I’m praying for healing to flow from him to

this body and spirit God made.

Hear me, dear Mother, and bolster my soul

to take away faintness and fear

I’ve given to doctors my savings and hope

and now to the Master draw near.

Be with me, Mother, for I am so weak,

embarrassed that others should see

the pain and the neediness deep down inside

that have stricken and limited me.

Just let me touch him or brush by his side,

hidden from everyone’s gaze.

Somehow I’m certain that I will receive

a healing to show forth his ways.

Lead me, sweet Mary, to stand by your Son

touch the hem of the garment you made

I’m praying for healing to flow from him to

this body and spirit God made.
