    See my skin, I’m a mass of blood, see my legs, I can hardly stand,

  Am                                                 Em

    I believe you can make me well, see my purse, I’m a poor, poor man.

 

 

    Will you touch, will you mend me, Christ?

 

    Won’t you touch, will you heal me, Christ?

    Am

    Will you kiss, you can cure me, Christ?

      Em

    Won’t you kiss, won’t you pay me, Christ?
