we touch Jesus – v2



how can we be assured
to believe like the disciples
seeing Christ alive
standing, risen, before them

how can we touch Jesus
alive, here with us,
risen from the dead
just as he promised

we are not in the upper room
alive in those forty days
after Easter morning
before Christ’s ascension

we cannot touch Jesus
to believe by proof before us
we must believe by faith
and share his gospel story

we can touch Jesus
our brothers, our sisters
all children of God
made in God’s image

we do touch Jesus
the work is what is important
to be his hands and feet
to be the good neighbor
