'He Touched Me' Poem by Becky LaPrarie

Though grief ridden because of sin
With Jesus inside of my heart
This spiritual battle between
Good and evil of the flesh
I shall win!

Though led astray by evil
At times at the finish of another day
Praise “God” at night
For I have another time of repentance
As I go humbly before him and I pray

I felt him touch me
When I did wrong and lead me back home
Helping me to return to the right path
Whenever I did roam

He touched me when I lost all hope
In those whom I love
And left his Holy Spirit to guide me
When he had to go join his father “God” up above

He touched me that night when daddy died
And he held me gently as in his arms I painfully cried

He touched me when those near death experiences
Came over me and destroyed the devils’ lie
For Satan convinced everyone I would die

Without his touch
Without his love
I could not face another day
Without him I wouldn’t want
To try ever again anyway
