I Was the One

I was the leper who stood at a distance.
I was the woman alone at the well.
I was the crowd who mocked as You suffered.
I was the beggar who cried for Your help.

And You were the Son of God.
You were the love of the Father.
You were the hands of mercy and power,
And You were new life to me, Lord.
You were new life to me.

Still I reach out to You, weak and unworthy,
Needing Your strength and Your healing today.
Lord, I'm the one who's touching Your garment.
Just speak the word as You're passing this way.

For You are the Son of God.
You are the love of the Father.
You are the hands of mercy and power,
And You are new life to me, Lord.
You are new life to me.
