<P> "He Touched Me" is a gospel song written by Bill Gaither in 1963 . </P> <P> While Bill Gaither was accompanying Dr. Dale Oldham on his evangelistic crusades, the preacher said to him, "Bill, the word' touch' is a very popular word . It comes up so often in the New Testament stories about Jesus touching people's eyes and healing them, or touching people's lives and changing them . It's a special, spiritual word and you ought to write a song that praises His touch ." So he did . That week, Dr. Oldham's son Doug Oldham began singing it in the meetings . Doug was also the first to record the song (in 1964). Not long after that, the Bill Gaither Trio recorded it . </P>
