Because You Touched Me
LORD, I am weak but not unable to perceive I am nothing.
I have no strength beside thee, I burden myself with heavier loads
and everyday it seems I fall further and further from thy Grace, but,
You carry me through. All I need is You everyday,
Because You touched me!
LORD, I have failed thee, I follow my heart and fall real deep.
My heart alone is fragile, deceitful, and weak and I cannot trust it,
it seems I can't find my way around in this valley of fog, but,
You stand always with me and together we walk hand in hand,
Because You touched me!
LORD, You rescued and saved my dyeing heart that I could not save.
You are my only source of light, You open my eyes to see the truth before me.
You've given me Your steady heart to trust while my world churns on this
pilgrim journey. You shed Your light on every path, right and left,
Because You touched me!
LORD, I look within as if to hide me, but see only darkness inside me.
I have nothing to offer thee, for all I have is thine, today is another day,
clouds will block my view but Your Grace and Love shines right through.
Just one more day and I shall enter into Your rest,
Because You touched me!
