Come My Way

Skillet retells the story of the woman who reached for Jesus' cloak in "Come My Way." The first verse sets the scene: hundreds crowd in "to see your face and touch the healer's hand," and the narrator pushes through, thinking "if I could touch your clothes, I could feel your power." The repeated plea "Come my way" carries the desperation of someone too hurt to wait in line.

The middle section turns the request into a question. "I'm out of touch, I'm out of reach" is followed by "I've got the faith to believe," and the singer asks what it would take for Christ to "walk towards me." Rather than waiting for an answer, the final stretch has the narrator "running towards you," with faith doing the moving.

The closing words, "Just a touch," compress the whole idea into a single request. Mark 5 and Luke 8 record the woman's reasoning that a touch would be enough, and the song keeps that same small, bold hope at its center.
