Lay Your Hands on Me

Bob Carlisle


Verse 1: 
I say my doctor 
And he told me 
There ain't no way around it. 
There ain't no magic pill. 
He said, "I looked for years 
And tried but I ain't never found it, 
No way to fix your ills." 

So I've come before 
The great physician 
Where I know the medicine is 
Strong and free. 
Only you an cure this 
Crossed up condition, 
Yeah, you know the very thing I need. 

Chorus: 
Lay your hands on me, 
I need that something. 
Lay your hands on me, 
I want your touch. 
Lay your hands on me, 
You've got the power. 
Lord, you know I've got the need 
So lay your hands on me. 

Verse 2: 
We try to hide it. 
The New York Times said 
"God is dead". 
They never say 
You never left the tomb. 

But I can't deny it 
When you came down 
With your love instead. 
Can you dig the upper room. 

Nothing in the world can steal it 
'cause your power is real, I know. 
Now all I want to do is feel it, 
So from the top of my head 
To the tips of my toes. 

Chorus: 

I don't need no psychoanalyst to get to you. 
Lay your hands on me.
