Years of sickness and sorrow
And then I heard, heard His name
And I knew I just had to go...
Through the crowd, Through the crowd
If I could just touch His hem somehow
Through the crowd, Through the crowd
If I could just get to Him I'd be free somehow
And now I've got to tell my neighbors
Oh, I'm not the one they knew
Changed by a power not of this earth
I told them what they had to do, they had to get...
Through the crowd, Through the crowd
If they could just touch His hem somehow
Through the crowd, Through the crowd
If they could just get to Him
They'd be free somehow
But the crowd says, "Child,
Don't go! Dwell at a distance in your pain"
But I just had to go
I just had to go
I just had to go
Had to touch His hem
Touch His hem
Through the crowd, Through the crowd
If I could just touch His hem somehow
Through the crowd, Through the crowd
If I could just get to Him I'd be free somehow
Years of sickness and sorrow
And then I heard, heard His name
And I knew I just had to go...
