Lyrics

Just one touch as He moves along,
Pushed and pressed by the jostling throng,
Just one touch and the weak was strong,
Cured by the Healer divine.

Refrain

Just one touch as He passes by,
He will list to the faintest cry,
Come and be saved while the Lord is nigh,
Christ is the Healer divine.

Just one touch and He makes me whole,
Speaks sweet peace to my sin sick soul,
At His feet all my burdens roll,
Cured by the Healer divine.

Refrain

Jut one touch! and the work is done,
I am saved by the blessèd Son,
I will sing while the ages run,
Cured by the Healer divine.

Refrain

Just one touch! and He turns to me,
Oh, the love in His eyes I see!
I am His, for He hears my plea,
Cured by the Healer divine.

Refrain

Just one touch! by His mighty power
He can heal thee this blessèd hour,
Thou canst hear though the tempests lower,
Cured by the Healer divine.
