Shackled by the heavy burden
'neath a load of guilt and shame
Then the hand of Jesus touched me
(He touched me)
and now I am no longer the same
For He touched me
oh, He touched me
(He touched me)
and oh what joy (wonderful joy) that floods my soul
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and made me whole
Oh since I met this blessed savior
and since He cleansed and made me whole,
oh I will never cease to praise Him,
and shout it while eternity rolls
He touched me,
oh, He touched me
(He touched me)
And oh what joy that floods my soul
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and made me whole
'neath a load of guilt and shame
Then the hand of Jesus touched me
(He touched me)
and now I am no longer the same
For He touched me
oh, He touched me
(He touched me)
and oh what joy (wonderful joy) that floods my soul
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and made me whole
Oh since I met this blessed savior
and since He cleansed and made me whole,
oh I will never cease to praise Him,
and shout it while eternity rolls
He touched me,
oh, He touched me
(He touched me)
And oh what joy that floods my soul
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and made me whole
