Text

Touch the hem of His garment,
Let His love make you whole,
Hear the voice of the shepherd,
And He will lead you into the fold.

Touch the hem of His garment,
Leave the darkness of sin,
Feel the strength of His presence,
And you will know the power within.

In loving arms, He will take you,
He’ll never leave you or forsake you.
And if you trust He will make you,
Rejoice and lay your burdens at His feat.

Touch the hem of His garment,
Leave the darkness of night,
Feel the might of His Glory,
And He will guide you into the light.
Feel the might of His Glory,
And He will guide you into the light.
