This is a poem that was written by Erin Musgrave. Erin has submitted this poem to us, I have made a 1 week deadline to write the music and compose a song from a very famous poet! We are very excited about turning this beautiful poem into a song for the Lord! Thanks Erin! You can find more of Erins work Here. Type her name in the search to see all of her work!

 Erin Musgrave

 It only takes one touch

 One touch for God to change a heart

 To change a life, to change a soul

 One touch to make us all whole

 The crying mother on her knees, begging God to help her

 please

 The soldier brave in the face of war

 The child who runs to his father’s arms

 God has touched them all

 Some may not notice the soft touch

 A voice within, a stranger’s help, a needed hug

 A sickness healed, a debt repaid, 

 A relationship is mended 

 The world is given credit

 But God orchestrates it all

 There are some who run away

 Fear to hard to master

 We like our lives in our control

 and fear what God might ask us

 The voice within is silenced

 The emptiness never filled

 Peace is sought but never found

 We shutout the crying within

 Hearts, they must be opened

 And fears must be relieved

 God’s touch is there within us all

 if you look, you will see

 If Ears begin to listen

 And Eyes begin to see

 God’s voice will soon get louder

 And his works will soon be seen

 Our hearts begin to open

 And peace begins to fall

 I now can see what’s missing

 Christ’s love has made me whole

 One touch is all it took

 To change a heart to change a life

 To change a soul

 One touch to make me whole
