One Touch

21When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake. 22Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came there. Seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet 23and pleaded earnestly with him, "My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live." 24So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed." 29Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.30At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"31"You see the people crowding against you," his disciples answered, "and yet you can ask, 'Who touched me?' "32But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."

Words to this song by Nicole C Mullen Been ostracized for 12 years, I'm used to being alone Spent everything I had and now it's gone I'm used to being put down, my issues tell it all My only hope is anchored in this fall If I could just touch the hem of His garment I know I'd be made whole If I could just press my way through this madness His love would heal my soul if only one touch So many people calling, how could He ever know That just a brush of Him would stop the flow If He knew would He rebuke me or shame me to the crowd? Well, I'm desperate 'cause it's never or it's now If I could just touch the hem of His garment I know I'd be made whole If I could just press my way through this madness His love would heal my soul And then suddenly He turned around He said somebody has unleashed my power Well, frightened and embarrassed I bowed You see I told Him of my troubles and how I had to touch the hem of His garment And I know I've been made whole And how I had pressed my way through this madness And His love has healed my soul Then with one word He touched the hem of my garment And you know I've been made whole And somehow He pressed His way through my madness And His love has healed my soul I tell you He touched me He reached way down and touched me When no one else would touch me Yeah, Jesus sure enough touched me And I know I've been made whole
