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)

"Take the Wheel" by Bonnie Jean Bailey: Why Surrender Feels So Hard

What are you still holding on to instead of giving it to God?  Three in the morning has a way of exposing what we’ve been avoiding all day. Bonnie Jean Bailey knows that hour well. In her song “Take the Wheel,” she sings about the tossing and turning, being “sick and tired of all this worrying,” and bags so heavy they threaten to burst. Can you picture that? Most of us carry something similar. Possibly we don’t call it a levy as Bonnie does, but the burden isn’t less.  Bonnie points out a pattern that we need to be aware of… “Every time I try to hand it over, I take it back cuz I need control of everything.” Does this sound familiar? We pray about something that is worrying us, feel a moment of relief, and then quietly pick up the burden again an hour or so later.  Bonnie isn’t preaching from a distance here. She’s describing her own tug-of-war between fear and faith. And to be honest, that could also be my tug-of-war that she is describing. Is it also your tug-of-war a...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...
