touching him

a woman came to simon's house

she knew the lord was there

for when she walked into the room

she was greeted by a stare

she surely must have shocked a few

of the people gathered there

as with tear-filled eyes

and trembling hands

she took down her long dark hair

and from an alabaster vessel

precious ointment filled her hair

as she wept she kissed his feet

and began anointing them

with her hands

she was touching him

the alpha

the omega

the beginning and the end

and with her hands

she was holding on to his

the source of life

was right there in her hands

now simon said within his heart

lord if you only knew the kind of woman

that's touching you

but jesus knew about her past

he knew about the sin

yet he saw in her a repentant heart

that had come to worship him

with her hands

she was touching him

the alpha

the omega

the beginning and the end

and with her hands

she was holding on to his

the source of life

was right there in her hands

now tell me why do we gather

together in his name

are we like the ones who merely watched

tell me is that why we came

are we like this sister

do we truly enter in

in spirit and in truth

have you come to worship him

with your hands

are you touching him

and with your heart are you loving him

and with your hands

are you holding on to his

then source of life

was right there in your hands
