	Story Behind the Song In October of 1993, I sang at a dinner where I heard the tearful and heartfelt testimony of a former convict. It brought tears to my eyes. I also saw a film of an underdeveloped country where it was so visible how deeply the children of that country ached for the word of God. Again I cried. That night I sang the first Christian song I'd ever written. It was like I was singing for the first time. I was filled with such emotion and excitement. It was the beginning of my understanding that I had been "touched by God's hand"; thus, the genesis of this song. Lyrics It was a night in October in 1993 When I first felt His presence in me There was dinner and music A warmth filled the room This was a night I would always remember There were old friends to revisit And new friends to meet This was a night I would always remember A man stood before us His testimony to bear He'd fallen more than once He felt nobody cared And then by the power of God's holy grace And His love for this lonely man He pulled himself up His life was renewed All by the touch of God's hand There was a film shown before us Of an impoverished land It revealed more than poverty There were children who hungered To learn all they could About Jesus and His love for them I sang for the children I sang for the man I sang for the wisdom to understand And then by the power of God's holy grace And His love for each one of us I began to see He was living in me I know I was touched by God's hand It was a night in October in 1993 When I fist felt His presence in me I sang for the children I sang for the man I sang for the wisdom to understand And then by the power of God's holy grace And His love for this whole human race I now can see He is living in me I know I've been touched by God's hand I now can see He is living in me I know I've been touched by God's hand
