She Touched the Hem

Lyrics

Written by Carl Hicks Jr. / SESAC

[Chorus – Full Choir, Tight Unison]
She touched the hem
She touched the hem
Twelve long years
Then she touched the hem

Crowd all around Him
Faith pushed through
She said, "If I touch Him
I know I'll be made new"

She touched the hem
She touched the hem
Power started moving
When she touched the hem

[Bridge – Warm Stacked Harmonies]
She spent all she had
Still nothing changed

Every new answer
Still brought the same pain

Then she heard Jesus
Was passing her way

Faith started rising
And would not be delayed

Press through
Press through

Don't let the crowd
Turn you around

[Chorus – Choir Snaps, Unexpected Brass Hits]
She touched the hem
She touched the hem
Weak when she reached
But strong when she stood again

Jesus turned around
Said, "Who touched me?"

The crowd kept moving
But faith pulled victory

She touched the hem
She touched the hem
Power started moving
When she touched the hem

[Bridge – Rhythmic Choir Changes]
Twelve years
Still believing

Twelve years
Still reaching

One touch
Changed the story

One touch
Released the glory

Daughter, be whole
Go in peace

The thing that held you
Had to release

[Repetitive Run – Deep Pocket Groove]
Touch the hem
Touch the hem

Reach by faith
Touch the hem

Press your way
Touch the hem

Don't turn back
Touch the hem

Power moved
Power moved

When her faith
Reached Jesus

Power moved
Power moved

And the sickness
Had to leave her

One touch
One touch

That was all it took

One touch
One touch

And the whole thing broke

[Choir Run – Tight Vocal Changes]
She reached
He felt it

She touched
He knew it

She believed
He healed her

She came low
He raised her

Daughter
Daughter

Thy faith made thee whole

Daughter
Daughter

Go in peace
And be whole

[Outro – Smooth Choir Resolution]
The crowd was pressing
But her faith touched deeper

She reached for Jesus
And found her healer

Twelve years ended
Right there with Him

Power changed her story
When she touched the hem

She touched the hem
She touched the hem

[Final Choir Hit]
Thy faith made thee whole!
