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)

"Paper Lantern Heart" by MK Green: When God Lights a Fire You Can't Contain

What happens when God lights a fire in you?  Some fires refuse to stay hidden. MK Green wrote “Paper Lantern Heart” around that exact truth, inspired by Jeremiah 20:9, where the prophet admits that he tried to stop preaching but simply couldn’t. The Word burned inside him “like a fire shut up in my bones.” Green’s lyrics echo that same struggle: “Behind the bones inside my chest there burns a paper heart.” Cold turns to burning. Silence turns to song. “I was cold as stone until You lit a spark,” the chorus declares, and something about that image sticks with you long after the music fades.  Here’s the question worth pondering: What do you do when God ignites something in you that won’t stay quiet?  Jeremiah tried holding it in, and that exhausted him. “There is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot” (Jeremiah 20:9). That weariness sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Maybe you’ve felt the nudge to speak up, ...

"Set Free" by Kristin Ambuhl: Naming Your Real Enemy

What battle are you really fighting today?   Some enemies wear a smile. Kristin Ambuhl calls this out in her song “Set Free”. The song calls these enemies a “favorite shadow” who’s “throwin’ words like daggers” while “hiding behind your laughter.” This is much more than a person who is being difficult. Kristin wrote this song about the daily spiritual battles we face as believers — battles found in arrogant people, dark influences, and forces that work to pull us away from who God made us to be. Whether it’s small fights or big ones, she’s naming them all.  The song doesn’t stay stuck in the shadows. Kristin declares, “I’ve been set apart, I’ve been set free, from my enemies, against dark powers, rulers, and authorities.” Part of that line echoes Ephesians 6:12: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” W...

"Come Alive" by Joel Lane: Finding Life Where Emptiness Used to Live

What if nothing you chase can truly fill the emptiness?  Emptiness has a way of following you around, no matter how fast you run. You chase a feeling (or things you believe will get you higher up “the ladder”), land on it for a moment, and then watch it slip through your fingers again. Joel Lane captures that feeling of restlessness in the opening lines of his song “Come Alive”: “Emptiness, chasing a feeling, trying to fill the void inside.” Sound familiar? Most of us have spent years searching for a purpose that felt just out of our reach.  Joel sings about how something happened that put everything in a different perspective. “You opened my eyes, now I see the light, I’m never going back.” That’s not a small statement. That’s a complete change of direction, a different way of living, a change the kind that can only happen when God steps into the picture.  The apostle Paul writes about this change of direction in Ephesians: “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the...
