Bill & Gloria Gaither He Touched Me
‘Neath a load of guilt and shame
Then the hand of Jesus touched me,
And now I am no longer the same
And oh the joy that floods my soul!
Something happened and now I know,
He touched me and made me whole
Since He cleansed and made me whole,
I will never cease to praise Him,
I’ll shout it while eternity rolls
And oh the joy that floods my soul!
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and made me whole
He touched me Video
