Just One Touch
Deep cries out to deep craving for GodThe living God"How can I reach out and touch himHow can I know Him?He seems so far awaySo much hindrance, so many barriersPeople standing in the wayShoulder to shoulderPerhaps another time when it is not so crowdedPeople jostling HimScribes, Pharisees, disciples all pushing for positionNext to the King of IsraelSeeking for recognition and notorietyNext to the one who multiplies the loaves and fishI must reach HimIt may be my only chanceWith all the determination of my soulJust To touch Him"
"Excuse me, Excuse me" - no one is listeningBodies pressing all aroundLurched forward, stumbled, fallingRough stones, dusty clothes, grazed hands"That hurts" - discouragement"I must go on""A small gap between all those legs"Crawling, jostled, kicked, pressed"I see his garment -I think it is His"Outstretch arm, extended fingers, stretch forwardPushed sideways, skinned elbow, fresh bloodPeople surge forward, losing ground,Desperation, fight forward"Just one unworthy touch"Lunge forward, reach out, brushed the hem, peace
He stops, - turns - "Who touched me?""Lord I touched You"Lifted by graceOverwhelmed by His LoveCradled in his MajestySwept away in His gloryCovered with His mercyCleansed by His bloodOne touch of faithEnveloping watersWhere the deep meets the deep
