He Wanted to Touch Me

I knew You could… But would You want to? Would You reach Your hand To someone like me? He walked a road of dust and shame, Where no one dared to call his name. He knew the sound of closing doors, Of being someone they ignored. But then he heard that Christ was near, And hope grew stronger than his fear. He knelt before the Lord and cried, “If You are willing, change my life.” He never doubted Heaven’s power; He wondered if that love was his. Before another word was spoken, Jesus reached across the distance! He wanted to touch me! He wanted to love me! When no one else would come too close, His mercy reached to hold me! “I am willing! Be made clean!” His words brought life and set me free! Now I’m more than a conqueror Through the One who first loved me! He wanted to touch me! His grace has reached my soul! The hand that touched my broken life Is never letting go! Oh-oh-oh! Jesus reached for me! Oh-oh-oh! His love has set me free! There’s a new song in my heartbeat, There’s a fire inside of me! I carried wounds that no one knew, And wondered what Your love would do. I knew Your power could make me whole, But shame kept whispering, “Don’t come close.” Then at the cross, I saw the truth: You gave Your life to bring me through. I brought the heart I couldn’t mend; You welcomed me and called me friend. I didn’t have to hide my sorrow, Or make myself worthy of Your grace. I laid my wounded life before You, And found a love I could embrace! He wanted to touch me! He wanted to love me! When no one else would come too close, His mercy reached to hold me! “I am willing! Be made clean!” His words brought life and set me free! Now I’m more than a conqueror Through the One who first loved me! He wanted to touch me! His grace has reached my soul! The hand that touched my broken life Is never letting go! Even when the battle stays, You will guide me all my days. On Your Word, my feet will stand; Nothing tears me from Your hand. Neither death nor life can sever This love that holds me now and ever. Through the tears and through the fight, You are with me in the night! More than conquerors! Through the One who loved us! More than conquerors! His love will carry us! He wanted to touch us! He wanted to love us! When we were lost and far from home, His mercy came to find us! “I am willing! Come to Me!” His grace has made a way, we’re free! We are more than conquerors Through the One who first loved us! He wanted to touch us! Now let the whole world know: Our lives are safe within His hands; He’ll never let us go! Oh-oh-oh! Jesus reached for me! Oh-oh-oh! His love has set me free! There’s a new song in my heartbeat, And His love’s alive in me! “If You are willing…” I whispered through my tears. “I am willing,” Was the answer I could hear. He wanted to touch me… He wanted to love me… And I am holding on to Him.
