Somebody Touched Me Lyrics

Song by Cathedral Quartet

Many years he walked in darkness
As he groped along the streets
With his hands stretched out for pennies
Or for just a bite to eat
It’s the story of the blind man
Who met Jesus on his way
And with the Master’s touch, the man looked up
As the scoffers heard him say

Somebody touched me
Somebody touched me
I was blind, but praise His name, I now can see
I was in darkness when Jesus found me
But since He touched me I now am free

One day He touched the crippled man
And made him walk again
And the Master saw with pleasure
He had labored not in vain
Like the story of that crippled man
I once was bound by sin
But since the Master came, oh, praise His name
Thank God, I now can say

Somebody touched me
Somebody touched me
I was blind, but praise His name, I now can see
I was in darkness when Jesus found me
But since He touched me I now am free

Somebody touched me
Somebody touched me
I was blind, but praise His name, I now can see
I was in darkness when Jesus found me
But since He touched me I now am free

I was in darkness when Jesus found me
But since He touched me, thank God I’m free

I’m now am free
Thank God I’m free

We Shall See Jesus Lyrics

Once on a hillside, people were gathered
Hoping to see Him, as thousands were fed
He touched the blind eyes, healed broken spirits
He moved with compassion, while He raised up the dead

Once on a hillside, people were gathered
Watching as Jesus was crucified
No one showed mercy, to the one who had healed them
Yet, Jesus loved them, as He suffered and died

Once on a hillside, people were gathered
For Jesus had risen and soon would ascend
Then, as He blessed them, He rose to the heavens
And gave them His promise to come back again

We shall see Jesus, just as they saw Him
There is no greater promise than this
When He returns in power and glory
We shall see Jesus, we shall see Jesus, just as He is!

George Younce, a beloved figure in the world of Southern Gospel music, is fondly remembered for his powerful voice and heartfelt performances. Among his most cherished songs is “Thanks to Calvary,” a poignant hymn that encapsulates themes of grace, redemption, and gratitude.

Originally penned by Bill and Gloria Gaither, “Thanks to Calvary” reflects on the transformative power of Christ’s sacrifice. In the song, the narrator expresses profound appreciation for how faith has changed their life—moving from despair to hope. George Younce’s rendition of this classic is particularly moving, as his deep, resonant voice brings an emotional depth that resonates with listeners.

The Gaither Vocal Band was founded in the early ’80s by renowned Christian music leader Bill Gaither. GVB became one of America’s leading southern gospel vocal groups. While Bill Gaither remained the only original member of the ensemble, many well-regarded CCM/gospel singers have passed through the band’s ranks, including Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, Wes Hampton, Michael English, Mark Lowry, and David Phelps. Today, the Gaither Vocal Band roster is comprised of five power-packed voices, including Bill Gaither, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles and Reggie Smith.
