Píseň: Touch The Hem Of His Garment

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
The Two Sides Of 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'
