Everybodyduck - Close lyrics

I was pressed against Him in that sweaty seething crowd Fighting every step to keep my place I had only hoped to hear Him speak yet now thanks to the crowd This Jesus and myself were face to face My head was aching from the noise, my skin burned in the sun Fatigue was setting in from the long walk Then suddenly the crowd lurched as the Master turned and stopped His eyes quickly scanned all of ours as He began to talk "Who touched Me?" he demanded but I could not ubnderstand More than six of us against Him on all sides Then a woman pushed us all aside and claimed that she'd been healed She admitted she had touched Him, knelt down at his feet and cried But I was close, and I was still the same I was close, yet I felt nothing strange With a simple touch, before my eyes, a life was rearranged But pressed up against Jesus I was close ... ... but nothing changed She began to tell her story, the crowd hushed so all could hear Jesus smile looked as though He already knew Slowly dying from a sickness, wracked with shame and all alone But the crowd around her last Hope, so thick she could not get through She'd heard story after story of this gentle Nazarene The healing power of God, His to command More than just a Prophet she believed that he was God Himself She waded through the crowd, praying for one touch of His hand The largeness of the crowd prevented her from getting close But she kept on where most of us would not Convicted so completely that this Jesus was the key Stretched through the ma**es, to touch His cloak, one hand found what she sought But I was close, and I was still the same I was close, yet I felt nothing strange With a simple touch, before my eyes, a life was rearranged But pressed up against Jesus I was close ... ... but nothing changed Then Jesus turned His towards me as though I'd asked out loud The questions in my mind no one else knew He quickly smiled, turned back to the woman and the crowd "Daughter go in peace" He said "Your faith has healed you" Then all at once His words rushed through my head and clicked into place The difference in touch simply that her's had been made in faith Clearly the Healer has the right to choose who will be healed But faithless contact I recalled, now in my heart revealed why ... I was close, and I was still the same I was close, yet I felt nothing strange With a simple touch, before my eyes, a life was rearranged But pressed up against Jesus I was close ... ... but nothing changed
