Analysis of The Touch of Jesus - Part 1

Royston 1946 (Reading)



Reaching out to me Jesus touched my eyes
enabling me to see to my surprise.
I stood before Him with my new found sight,
gazing into His face so clear and bright.

The touch of Jesus makes me feel so whole.
The touch of Jesus purifies my soul.
The touch of Jesus cleanses me from sin.
The touch of Jesus gives me peace within.
