Touch the Hem
William McDowell and Trinity Anderson's song 'Touch the Hem' draws from the biblical story of the woman with the issue of blood who reached out to touch Jesus' garment and was healed. The lyrics encourage listeners who feel broken, hopeless, or weak in faith to run to Jesus and reach out for Him, promising that touching the hem of His garment brings wholeness, healing, freedom, and new life. The song emphasizes that in His presence, faith brings healing, and He knows exactly what we need. It is a worshipful call to trust in Jesus' power to restore and make whole.
When hope is lost
And you find yourself broken
When you can't see your way
And all your prayers are unspoken
You can run to Jesus
Reach out for Him
He knows what you need
Touch the hem of His garment
Touch the hem of His garment
You'll be made whole
Yes, you'll be made whole
When you find it hard to see
And all of the faith you have is weak
When all you have is one last breath
Jesus says, 'reach out to me'
You can run to Jesus
Reach out for Him
He knows what you need
In His presence
Faith brings healing
He is all you need
If you'd only
Touch the hem of His garment
Touch the hem of His garment
You'll be made whole
Yes, you'll be made whole
Touch the hem of His garment
Touch the hem of His garment
You'll be made whole
Yes, you'll be made whole
There's healing
There's freedom
New life at the feet of Jesus
There's healing
There's freedom
New life at the feet of Jesus
There's healing
There's freedom
New life at the feet of Jesus
There's healing
There's freedom
New life at the feet of Jesus
Touch the hem of His garment
Touch the hem of His garment
You'll be made whole
Yes, you'll be made whole
Touch the hem of His garment
Touch the hem of His garment
You'll be made whole
Yes, you'll be made whole
There's healing
There's freedom
New life at the feet of Jesus
There's healing
There's freedom
New life at the feet of Jesus
There's healing
There's freedom
New life at the feet of Jesus
There's healing
There's freedom
New life at the feet of Jesus
Touch the hem of His garment
Touch the hem of His garment
You'll be made whole
Yes, you'll be made whole
Yes, you'll be made whole
