If I Could Touch You

Manoling Francisco, SJ

If I could touch You, I’d

heal Your broken palms.
If I could hold You in my
arms.
 If I Could Touch You
Manoling Francisco, SJ

I’d call the soft breeze to

caress Your weary arms.
I’d call the moon beam
 If I Could Touch You
Manoling Francisco, SJ

to dispel this darkest

night. If I could touch
You, I would.
 If I Could Touch You
Manoling Francisco, SJ

if I could hear You, Your

words of anguish, if
You’ll just whisper
 If I Could Touch You
Manoling Francisco, SJ

in my ear the sadness

weighing down Your
heart that no man sees.
 If I Could Touch You
Manoling Francisco, SJ

If You just call me I

would sing of flaming
hope. If I could hear
You, I would.
 If I Could Touch You
Manoling Francisco, SJ

Long have I waited for

you to hear my cry.
Long have I waited for
You to answer my plea.
 If I Could Touch You
Manoling Francisco, SJ

What you
do to your brethren,
you do it for me,
 If I Could Touch You
Manoling Francisco, SJ

I am in the brokenness
and woundedness of
man.
 If I Could Touch You
Manoling Francisco, SJ

Long have I waited for

you to hear my cry.
Long have I waited for
You to answer my plea.

What you
do to your brethren,
you do it for me,

and woundedness of
man.
