Hem of His Garment

Oh I wish I could be Touched by the hem of his garment
To be proud has never been
So mean, so stern, so cruel
Oh I wish I could be Touched by the hem of his garment
Oh, I’ve come a long way
To touch the hem of his garment
And anger should be The tool of a clown or a fool, you see
And why should such spite and such pain
Hang between you and me When love should be A queen on her throne
Looking after her own
I wish I could be Touched by the hem of his garment
Two chairs at this table
One bed in this house
Seriously, I think we could be,
Touched by the hem of his garment
Oh, I’ve come a long way
To touch the hem of his garment
