He Touched Me

628 He Touched Me

1 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.

Refrain:
   He touched me, oh, He touched me,
   And oh, the joy that floods my soul;
   Something happened, and now I know,
   He touched me, and made me whole.

2 Since I've met this blessed Savior,
   Since He's cleansed and made me whole,
   Oh, I will never cease to praise Him—
   I'll shout it while eternity rolls. [Refrain]
