Touch and be made whole

Representative Text

1 Saviour, I come to Thee with a broken heart today,
Pleading grace to wash my scarlet sins away;
O let Thy mercy flow, and Thy glory now be seen;
Reach forth Thy hand in pity, and touch, and make me clean.

Refrain:
Jesus, Thy grace is sufficient!
Upon Thee my soul would lean,
Now with Thy finger of mercy
Touch me and I shall be clean.

2 Well Thou dost know how feeble I am, how poor, how frail;
Prone to wander; helpless when my foes assail;
Lord, I am lost without Thee! in mercy intervene,
Reach forth Thy hand in pity, and touch, and make me clean. [Refrain]

3 Seeking for earthly pleasures, away from Thee I turned;
Peace and joy beyond all telling I have spurned;
Death waits before me! merciful Saviour come between,
Reach forth Thy hand in pity, and touch, and make me clean. [Refrain]

4 I cannot live without Thee! reveal Thyself to me!
From my condemnation, speak, and set me free;
O let me on the Arms of Everlasting safely lean;
Reach forth Thy hand in pity, and touch, and make me clean. [Refrain]
