1 A blessed change has taken place,
I'm now in touch with Jesus;
I've lost my sorrow and disgrace,
I'm now in touch with Jesus.

Refrain:
I'm now in touch with God's great Son,
His boundless grace my heart has won;
I've ceased to roam, I'm going home,
I'm now in touch with Jesus.

2 The voice of evil calls in vain,
I'm now in touch with Jesus;
Eternal joys I hope to gain,
I'm now in touch with Jesus. [Refrain]

3 I sigh no more for worldly things,
I'm now in touch with Jesus;
I tuench my thirst at life's true springs,
I'm now in touch with Jesus. [Refrain]

4 The storm may rave, the billows roll,
I'm now in touch with Jesus;
Sweet peace abides within my soul,
I'm now in touch with Jesus. [Refrain]
