“I Saw A Man”
He took my hand, he called my name.
He bid me look the other way;
I saw a man, I heard him say
He said if I be lifted up
I’ll draw all men to me.
He turned and then I saw
the nail-scarred hands
that bled for me.
I touched the hem of his garment that fell round him there
My life my heart I gave,
my soul was in his care.
When I awoke my heart beat so and in the dark I saw a glow.
This was no dream he turned my way.
Again I heard my Saviour say
He said if I be lifted up
I’ll draw all men to me.
He turned and then I saw
the nail-scarred hands
that bled for me.
I touched the hem of his garment that fell round him there
