Touch Me Lord Jesus Lyrics
Verse 1
Touch, touch me, Lord Jesus,
With Thy hand of mercy,
Make each throbbing heartbeat
Feel Thy pow’r divine.
O take my will forever,
I will doubt Thee never,
O Lord, please cleanse me, my dear Savior,
Make me wholly Thine.
Verse 2
Mold, mold me, dear Savior;
As I bow before Thee,
Prostrate, prostrate and helpless,
Make my heart Thy throne.
O purge my dross with hyssop;
Burn me with Thy fire;
O Lord, please make, make me and use me;
Ever all Thine own.
Verse 3
Feed, feed me, dear Jesus,
From Thy holy table,
Rain, rain bread from heaven,
Let my cup o’erflow.
O naked, sick and hungry;
Poor and weak and lonely,
O Lord, please feed, feed me, Lord Jesus,
Till I want no more.
Verse 4
Guide, guide me, Jehovah,
Through this vale of sorrow,
I am safe forever,
Trusting in Thy love.
O bear me through the current;
O’er the chilly Jordan,
O Lord, please lead me, my dear Savior,
To my home above.
Notes
To a Christian, this hymn is a prayer of surrender, transformation, and dependence on God. The singer asks Jesus to “touch” them with mercy, symbolizing a desire for spiritual healing and cleansing. Asking God to take their will reflects the Christian belief that true faith involves submitting one’s life fully to Christ.
The request to be “molded” like clay shows a desire for God to shape the believer’s character and remove spiritual impurities, echoing biblical imagery of purification.
The line about purging “with hyssop” recalls cleansing imagery from Book of Psalms 51, where hyssop symbolizes purification from sin. Being “fed” from the holy table reflects spiritual nourishment through Christ, similar to the promise of the “bread from heaven” in Gospel of John.
Finally, asking God to guide them through the “chilly Jordan” symbolizes death and the journey into eternal life. Overall, the hymn expresses humility, trust, and the hope of being led safely to Heaven.
