I came to the well

I came as a leper

I searched high and low but

I found no other help

But I heard of your healing

And I came in hope

Of finding the one my scars won't scare away


Oh your touch is all I've needed

Oh your touch is all I've needed

You reach out your hand

And I'm made whole again

Oh your touch is all I've needed


So I fell to your feet

Knowing I was unworthy

Then you reached out to me

And you lifted my head

You said don't be afraid

I'm here and I'm willing

To take these scars and give new life again


Oh your touch is all I've needed

Oh your touch is all I've needed

You reach out your hand

And I'm made whole again

Oh your touch is all I've needed


He touched meI used to believe

So many stories

That You wouldn?t like me

If You knew me

That I have to strive

To see Your glory

I was taught to believe

That You were distant

That You?d strike me down

If I had missed it

That Grace wasn?t free

l?d have to earn it, to earn it

But I?m unlearning and


I?m so glad

I was wrong about You

I?m so glad

I was wrong about You

Now I know the truth


I used to think

That You were angry

That there were conditions

To Your Mercy

And if I worked hard enough

Then You Would save me

You would save me

But I?m unlearning and


I?m so glad

I was wrong about You

( I?ve never been so glad

To get it wrong)

I?m so glad

I was wrong about You

(Cause now my heart

Can sing a different Song)

I?m so glad

I was wrong about You

I?m so glad

I was wrong about You

Now I know the truth


The truth is You?re patient

The truth is You?re kind

The truth is You?re gracious

And You?re so good all the time


The truth is You?re faithful

When I have failed to be

The truth is You love, You love

You love me unconditionally

Thank you Jesus


I?ll sing like nobody?s listening

I?ll dance like nobody?s watching

I can?t help it now that

I know the truth about You

The truth about You


I?ll sing like nobody?s listening

I?ll dance like nobody?s watching

I can?t help it now that

I know the truth about You

The truth about You


I?ll sing like nobody?s listening

I?ll dance like nobody?s watching

I can?t help it now that

I know the truth about You

The truth about You


I?ll sing like nobody?s listening

I?ll dance like nobody?s watching

I can?t help it now that

I know the truth about You

The truth about You


I?m so glad

I was wrong about You

( I?ve never been so glad

To get it wrong)

I?m so glad

I was wrong about You

(Cause now my heart

Can sing a different Song)

I?m so glad

I was wrong about You

I?m so glad

I was wrong about You

Now I know the truth


And now l know the truth

It set me free

And now I know the truth

It set me free

Obsessed with me


And now I know the truth

It set me free

You?re not upset with me

It sets me free


And now I know the truth

It set me free

But you?re obsessed with me


Oh now I know the truth

He touched me

He touched my soul

Thank you Jesus
