Touching Him



Words and music by Ray Boltz



A woman came to Simon's house

She knew the Lord was there

And when she walked into the room

She was greeted by the stares

She surely must have shocked a few

Of the people gathered there

As with tear filled eyes

And trembling hand

She took down her long, dark hair

And from an alabaster vessel

Precious ointment filled her hand

And as she wept

She kissed His feet

And began anointing them



CHORUS:

With her hands

She was touching Him

The Alpha, The Omega

The Beginning and The End

And with her hands

She was holding onto His

And the source of life

Was right there in her hands



Now Simon said within his heart,

Lord, if you only knew

The kind of woman

That's touching You

But Jesus knew about her past

He knew about the sin

And yet He saw in her

A repentant heart

That had come to worship Him



CHORUS



Now tell me why do we gather

Together in His name?

Are we like the ones who merely watch?

Tell me, is that why we came?

Or are we like this sister?

Do we truly enter in?

In Spirit and in Truth

Have you come to worship Him?



And with your hands

Are you touching Him?

And with your heart

Are you loving Him?

And with your hands

Are you holding onto His?

Then the source of life

Is right there in your hands
