touch the hem of his garment

Singer:sam cooke

oh

there was a woman in the bible days

she had been sick

sick so very long

but she heard about jesus was passing by

so she joined the gathering throng

and while she was pushing her way through

someone ask her: 'what are you trying to do?'

she said: 'if i could just touch the hem of his garment

i know i'll be made whole'

she cried: 'oh lord

oh lord and oh lord

oh lord'

said: 'if i could just touch the hem of his garment

i know i'll be made whole'

oh

she spent her money here and there

until she had no

had no more to spare

the doctors

they'd done all they could

but their medicine would do no good. when she touched him the saviour didn't see

but still he turned around and cried

'somebody touched me'

she said: 'it was i who just wanna touch the hem of your garment

i know i'll be made whole right now'

she stood there crying: 'oh lord

oh lord and oh lord

oh lord'

said: 'if i could just touch the hem of his garment

i know i'll made whole right now'
