You embraced the leper While others backed away You loved the tax collector That others chose to hate Though she was judged To be found guilty You forgave the prostitute Grace, love and mercy Is what I've learned from You
I will touch the untouchable And love the unlovable And forgive my enemies 'Cause, Lord, You've touched me And, Lord, You loved me And You forgave me too That's what I've learned from You
If someone comes against me I'll seek to understand I'll turn the other cheek And offer him my hand I'll walk with him, I'll pray for him 'Cause I've been in his shoes Lord, You did that for me That's what I've learned from You
I will touch the untouchable And love the unlovable And forgive my enemies 'Cause, Lord, You've touched me And, Lord, You loved me And You forgave me too That's what I've learned from You That's what I've learned from You
