Touched

With my ears I’ve heard songs of praise lifted on high.

My eyes have seen His miracles and words change lives.

These lips have spoken of His wisdom, undenied.

This heart has known the tug of the Spirit it defied.

On my pallet has lain the taste of his sacrifice.

I always thought his forgiveness was nice.

The scent of His trail has appealed to my mind.

Sights of His works have withstood the test of time.

I’ve reached out, but never touched those nail scares hands.

With all my good intentions I’ve fallen short of His plan.

I’ve knelt at the altar with sin at my side.

The words of His worship I’ve allowed to pass by.

Call after call I’ve been able to deny.

I’ve prayed the prayer, but left out the I.

Now, today I give over my life to the one who paid the ultimate price.

I’m taking His hand not someone else’s advice.

With a simple prayer I asked him in.

With that prayer He forgave of my sins.

A sinner still, so worthless am I, but He is my salvation.

He gives me life.
