To get a Touch From the Lord

The author and composer of this short worship song about God's call are unknown.

It was published in New Zealand Songs of Praise, from Scripture in Song Recordings Ltd, 1973, and Scripture in Song - Songs of Praise Volume 1 in 1979. In both of these books, no attribution was given for this song.

No other published versions have been found - but the videos on YouTube suggests that the song is known in America, at least.

Lyrics

To get a touch from the Lord is so real,
To get a touch from the Lord is so real,
If you draw nigh to Him,
He will draw nigh to you,
To get a touch from the Lord is so real.

Chorus:
Hallelujah [2]
Jesus is coming, is coming again.
Hallelujah [2]
Jesus is coming again.

I got a touch from the Lord, He's so real.
I got a touch from the Lord, He's so real.
When i draw nigh to Him,
He will draw nigh to me,
To get a touch from the Lord is so real.
