as surely as the leper, kneeling in the dust
coming forward to Jesus
asking for his touch
to be healed of his disease
that which cast him out
the mark of the devil, of sin
a symbol on his flesh
I have been healed by the touch of Jesus
by the touch of the Master
the guiding of the potter
the Spirit back to my path
to be healed of my iniquity
washed clean of my sin
that which is ever before me
written on my heart
I have been healed by the touch of Jesus
by his death for me
reaching from the depths to lift me
in him I am set free
to speak of God’s power
to testify to his love
oh yes, I have been healed by the touch of Jesus
in him I am made whole
