Have You Touched His Robe

I'll never forget the night I wrote this song many years ago...

 

   vs 1

Your faith, dear child, has made you whole
you chose the better way
You touched my hem as I passed by
sweet virtue flowed today
I heard your whispered plea for help
above the pressing crowd
I came this way in search of you
we’ll walk together now

 
Chorus
Have you touched the robe that covered Him
and kept Him from the cold
Have you felt the cloth, by now so worn
the years have made it old
Still just in reach for those who will
lift up a trembling hand
He’s here to heal, He’s come for you
your broken life to mend

 

vs 2
The way back home my word has shown
all those who want to know
My path is strait, don’t hesitate
it’s almost time to go
Wander in the dark no more
step out into the light
Take my hand, we’ll walk my friend
the gates are just in sight

this is a wonderful story and it's presented in a wonderful way. the words are clear. the story is told plainly and the story itself is what carries the weight of the poem/song/hymn. i'd love to hear the story behind the poem.

beautifully written and perfect timing in this one. Today I feel broken - these were truly words my spirit needed to read.

I am in awe. How majestic. Years ago, I was very sick and this verse helped me know there was/is hope. You are so correct right from the start with the words "Your faith." I'm a true believer in that's what starts the healing process.
The whole poem is lovely. May God bless you for it.

I like this very much as it appears. I would absolutely love it without the chorus. Stanzas one and three are so very powerful. This is not to say that the chorus is bad, it's not. It's just that to me, one and three are so hard hitting and powerful that they feel complete together.

The is beautiful AK. One of my favorite stories in the entire Bible. The woman with the issue of blood. If I remember right, she was sick with this 13-14 years and had been to every conceivable Doctor and to no avail. One touch of the Savior's garment and the healing virtue went into her and she was instantly healed. I too, have experienced His healing power and there is nothing like it.
Thank you for sharing such beautiful words to an incredible song. :)

God Bless, Carole

Truly, truly amazing rendition of a Biblical story we all know and love! Its messages of hope and salvation would make Jesus proud, and I'm sure He is! Well done!
