    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
