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...
