Ritapayne8 - As a sub minister, my father read this in church when I was aprox. 11 or 12 years old. I am now 64. This poem has stayed with me throughout my entire life. It applys to those who are con's, drug addicted, mentally ill and all of us who have come short of the glory of God. It is so very dear to me and always will be. God bless her for the blessing she gave me through this poem. It has helped me deal with persons I would not be able to understand much less deal with my whole life. I wish I could tell her myself how dear it is to me. R.C. Payne

I came across the picture of The touch of The Masters Hand among my son's belongings when we were dividing his household goods after he passed away last year. It caught my husbands eye, and we finally found the right spot for it in our dining room, and we cherish it dearly. I would be interested in knowing if there was a song of the same title. Our painting was done by Ken Brown.
