The Hem of the Garment
I wrote this in 2005 but someone told me to post it. So here it is.
Hopelessly looking
Searching for something
Just outside
My grasp
Will I ever touch
The hem,
Just the hem
Where all will be healed
It’s so dark
All around me
Scratching along
The dirt
Just a glimpse
Of the hem
Will do it
And I’ll know I’m close
Because once I touch
The hem
Of the garment
My sins will fade away
Oh the scars
Will still be there
But life for me is waiting
On the hem of the garment
Yes, I have
Been there before
And under
The garment of praise
But somehow
My eyes
Have fallen
Off the One who paid the way
Just keep on looking
For the hem
Of the garment
Of Jesus
Maybe someone
Will help me out
And let me lean on them
The rest of the way
So I can touch
The hem again
And be in the presence
Of Jesus
Just one touch
Will do it
One touch
On the hem of the garment
