Crowds are behind thee, crowds are before

Fanny Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Mark 5:25-34

Verse 1

Crowds are behind you, crowds are before; Life in a single moment you can restore; Only to touch you, spotless and pure, Only to touch your garment, faith brings the cure.

Chorus

Only your garment's hem, Lord, I implore; Only your garment's hem life will restore; Only a touch will bring joy to my soul; Let me but touch your garment, I shall be whole.

Verse 2

Only to touch you, Savior, I know, Peace to my troubled spirit you will bestow, Only to touch you, this is my pray'r; Longer my heavy burden I cannot bear.

Chorus

Only your garment's hem, Lord, I implore; Only your garment's hem life will restore; Only a touch will bring joy to my soul; Let me but touch your garment, I shall be whole.

Verse 3

Lord, I am sinful, you undefiled, Yet you do love and even call me your child; Great is your mercy, wondrous to me; Lord, 'tis your grace that saves me, perfect and free!

Chorus

Only your garment's hem, Lord, I implore; Only your garment's hem life will restore; Only a touch will bring joy to my soul; Let me but touch your garment, I shall be whole.
