He Touched Me

       Shackled by a heavy burden,
       Neath a load of guilt and shame,
       Then the hand of Jesus touched me,
       And now I am no longer the same.

       He touched me, O He touched me,
       And O the joy that floods my soul!
       Something happened, and now I know,
       He touched me and made me whole.

       Since I met this blessed Savior,
       Since He cleansed and made me whole,
       I will never cease to praise Him;
       I’ll shout it while eternity rolls.

       He touched me, O He touched me,
       And O the joy that floods my soul!
       Something happened, and now I know,
       He touched me and made me whole
