Touching the Hem
Luke 8:40-48 NIV

This is me touching the hem of Your garment
Reaching into the depths of Your heart to become whole
Finding my way beneath the crowd of those surrounding
Desperately believing in the power that I stole

In humility making my way to the feet of Jesus
Bleeding and Broken risking the shame of being unclean
A woman weary and worn, shameful and scorned needing The Healer
No physician can fix my pain and suffering

This is me touching the hem of Your garment
Taking my Healing when so many others do not Believe
Seeing I can not go unnoticed, trembling and falling at Your feet
You said to me, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

Touching the Hem of Jesus' Garment Luke 8:40-48 NIV

"40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, came and fell at Jesus' feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. 45 'Who touched me?' Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, 'Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.' 46 But Jesus said, 'Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.' 47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, 'Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.' (Luke 8:40-48, NIV)
