"lay your hands on me"

Two weeks ago at church, I found out one of my favorite messianic singer is coming on March 13 - Joel Chernoff @ Seed of Abraham. You can’t see me right now but I’m doing my happy dance. I remember the first time hearing one of his songs “Lay your hands on me” I was being micvah and that song was playing. There were several congregations at one of the member’s farm and we used his lake. The minute they announced it at church, I knew Abba wanted me to do it and this time I wanted to. After I was dunked, it felt like a lot of weight lifted off me and I had peace. I had a strong leading to do it again last fall for witnessing and preaching the word. I was baptized once before Seed’s but it was at my brother’s church. Even though I wanted to be baptized, I still had to because I was a teacher there. I felt forced my heart wasn't in it at all. It didn't seem right but I did it anyway.

LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME
Abba Father, lay your hands on me,
Holy Spirit, set this captive free,
From the chains, that are holding me,
Lay your hands on me.

Precious Father, how my spirit craves,
More to yield, to your love and grace,
More to bow, down before your face,
Lay your hands on me.
________________________________________
All that I need is to touch, the hem of your garment I pray
All that I need is your touch, to raise up my life from the dead.
Lay your hands, Lay your hands,
Lay your hands on me, Lay your hands on me,
Set this captive free, give me eyes to see.

Abba Father, lay your hands on me,
Holy Spirit, set this captive free,
From the chains, that are holding me,
Lay your hands on me.
________________________________________
In the night, I can hear your voice,
Calling come, let your heart rejoice,
Help me Lord, not resist that choice,
Lay your hands on me.

All that I need is to touch, the hem of your garment I pray
All that I need is your touch, to raise up my life from the dead.
Lay your hands, Lay your hands,
Lay your hands on me
________________________________________
Lay your hands, Lay your hands
Lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me
Set this captive free, From the chains,
From the chains,
Holding me, holding me.

Yeshua have mercy,
Root of Jesse, Lion of Judah,
Lay your hands on me.
Son of David, Lord have mercy,
Lay your hands on me.
