Find Reconciliation in 'One Touch' by Dr. Mark Williams


'One Touch' by Dr. Mark Williams is a song that evolves around the biblical story of a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years. Despite her medical challenges, she believed that it would only take one touch of Jesus' garment to heal her. Her faith gave her the strength to act and the courage to keep on going, even though people were getting in her way. She didn't give up! Dr. Mark uses this musical narrative to hold up a mirror-a mirror that reflects our own lives and struggles. 

Dr. Mark Williams - One TouchThis woman isn't unique. We all carry burdens and scars from our past, and we can let this weigh us down. Dr. Mark's point in this song is that it is our choice what we do with these burdens and scars from the past. You have the choice to reach out to Jesus to bring about the change you need, or you can choose to sulk in the depth of your despair. This song is a message of hope, a reminder that your faith, even if it's as small as a mustard seed, can have a tremendous impact. 

Healing and reconciliation are already within your reach. All it takes is 'one touch' of faith. Move beyond your shame and failures, stretch out your hands in faith, and don't let the crowds of doubt and fear get in your way. 

Let the song inspire you and ignite your faith, so you too can pursue the one touch that will make everything alright.

(Related scripture: Matthew 9:20-22; Mark 5:27-29; Luke 8:47-48)

“I Believe” by Reagan Nichole: A Ten-Year-Old’s Bold Declaration of Faith

What if darkness can’t stay where Jesus lives? Eleven-year-old Reagan Nichole from Texas wrote “I Believe” right after she turned ten. Most of us wait decades before saying what we believe out loud. She sings it! Her opening lines name a fear many people quietly carry with them: “You think that you’ve gone way too far, that there’s no way to turn back.” Have you ever felt that? Reagan reminds us of a promise. Jesus “will wash you clean.” No résumé required. No catching up. She calls the song her personal declaration that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Her faith isn’t a Sunday event. It lives in everyday life and turns dark to light. She sings: “I know He makes the darkness flee.” Jesus said the same thing long before any songwriter did. In John 8:12 He tells us, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Notice the verb, “…follow …” . His light isn’t something you earn. You walk in it, one step at a time, right in t...

"Digging Ditches" Brandon Drit: Preparing for Water You Can’t See

Obedience comes first. The rain comes later. Brandon Drit knows what dry seasons can feel like. His song, “Digging Ditches”, opens on a desert road, with strength fading and a question that probably sounds a lot like yours: “How much longer will this last?” The message of the song grew out of 2 Kings 3:16, and it also marks his first professionally edited and mastered release, a ditch of its own, dug in faith. Picture the following scene. Three armies are stranded in the wilderness with nothing to drink. Then God sends Elisha with a strange order: dig trenches in the dry valley. The promise that follows sounds impossible: “You shall not see wind or rain, but that streambed shall be filled with water, so that you shall drink” (2 Kings 3:17). Digging in a drought will seem foolish to some. Who on earth shovels dirt for rain that hasn’t shown up? Only the people who trust the One who promised it. We’ve seen similar promises happen before (e.g., Noah), and in 2 Kings 3 we see it happenin...

"My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)" by Avery Stafford: One Heart at Peace Can Change the Room

Peace begins in a willing heart. When did you last open your own time capsule? Avery Stafford found a time capsule somewhere in his mind and opens it in his song “My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)”. His time capsule contained a Folgers can filled with buttons and thread, a crystal globe, a denim patch, and the scent of Avon cologne. Seemingly ordinary treasures, but each one carries a Christmas that he’s never stopped loving. Avery blends gospel warmth with soulful pop to speak to the child in all of us, the child who still believes that Love leads the way. In the bridge, he wishes that child well, “forever dancing under the starlight with stories yet to tell.” The song also reminds us that memories alone cannot fix a restless / broken world, and he knows it: “We long for happily ever afters, but none of us really knows.” So where does peace begin? Not in a headline, a treaty, the outcome of the midterms, or a December calendar. Paul gives us an answer in Colossians 3:15: “And...
