HA Mother holds her children's hands a little while... Their hearts forever. "
IIHe Touched Mell
Shackled by a heavy burden 'Neath the load of sin 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.
Since I met this blessed Saviour Since He cleansed and made me whole I will never cease to praise him I'll shout it while eternity roar.
