Virtue

Today's the day I can hear people talk Jesus is coming...Lord help me walk I'm so tired and weak and I look like chalk But I must go So many people here shouting and loud I know He won't see me just one in the crowd As I touched His hem He turned around Oh God! He knows! But I heard Jesus can heal me Though tradition just won't let me Get close enough or touch Him I'm unclean If I can make it through this crowd Without getting knocked to the ground Just get close enough touch His hem I know I'll be clean... I couldn't hide as He looked for me So I fell at His feet and told Him everything... Lord for 12 long years I have suffered First one doctor and then another What they did to me would make you shudder If you only knew They took everything I had And left me feeling twice as bad Lord there's got to be something That You can do He said, "Daughter, you took a chance trusting Me... Now live blessed for you're whole and clean" And I know Jesus can heal you So don't let tradition be stopping you Just get close enough to touch His hem and you Will be clean... by~deborah burch© **I wrote this having been inspired from the Gospel of Mark, Chapter 5:21-34....In the New Testament 3/28/2012
