Your Touch
Kutless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not knowing why I had to choose this way
I discern I was wrong in my way
Looking for peace in another, another domain
And I realize that it's true I seek You, whoa
I realize that its true I need You
To reach out and to touch me and I know
I know that I need Your touch
Not knowing why I ever retreated from Your arms
A mistake I made
Now oh Lord I feel Your warm embrace, contentment
Fills my soul as joy lights my face
And I realize that it's true I seek You, whoa
I realize that its true I need You
And I reach out and I touch you and I know that I need You
To reach out and to touch me and I know
I know that I need Your touch
You look into the sky
and see His arms if love reaching out for You
His arms of love and grace
And You know You need Him, You need his touch
I need Your, I need Your
I was lost but now I'm found
And I reach out and I touch You and I know that I need You
To reach out and to touch me and I know
I know that I need Your touch

Im very reminded about my life as a Christian. When I heard this song in high school I had cried. Very touching song! God bless kutless. We need Christian artists to remain Christian and not go secular. I receive so much spiritual nourishment from Christ centered music!

Kutless' first album is by far their best one in my opinion. After this, about 90% of their stuff started sounding like U2. This rocks so much harder....
Nathan Culp
I would say my 2nd favorite, I got 4 of their cds, they are my favorite band, sea of faces is my favorite, 3rd is hearts of the innocent, 4th is strong tower
Sam McBride
This is probably my favorite song by them. I got to see them live last week and it was amazing!!! I did a guitar cover of it if anyone wants to check it out.
