Touching the Hem of His Garment
"If I could but touch the hem of his garment,
I know I shall be made whole,"
Said the woman who had been diseased
and suffered many long years.
She claimed healing for her body
by faith, deep within her soul.
Jesus was greater than her sickness
and would heal the cause of her tears.
When Jesus was walking through the city,
she searched all through the crowd.
Pressing in by faith, she made her way to the Lord;
regardless of the multitude all around.
She reached up to touch the Master,
believing for help as he passed her way.
She touched the hem of His garment,
to be made whole and sound, that day.
Healing virtue flowed from the Savior,
as her faith reached up to our Lord.
A miracle, on that day, was given
and her faith saw its reward.
The Savior still passes by our way,
today, when, by faith, we only believe
Within our hearts. There is one who works
miracles, which we can still receive.
