Mark 1:40-41 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
[41] And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
One doesn’t touch a leper.
This man hadn’t been touched in many years, nor had he been able to touch anyone.
But now the Lord touches him, and cleanses him.
What compassion!
He Touched Me

Shackled by a heavy burden, —'Neath a load of guilt and shame. — Then the hand of Jesus touched me, — And now I am no longer the same.
CHORUS:
He touched me, Oh He touched me, — And oh the joy that floods my soul! — Something happened and now I know, — He touched me and made me whole.
Since I met this blessed Savior, — Since He cleansed and made me whole, — I will never cease to praise Him, — I'll shout it while eternity rolls.
William J. Gaither 1963
