Ten lepers heard that Jesus Christ
Was coming soon their way
He was passing by their camp
It could be most any day
They knew that He had healed the sick
And made the lame to walk
He opened eyes and ears for some
And made the deaf to talk
So they thought perhaps if He would pray
Their leprosy would go
The called out to Him as He passed
And He turned around real slow
Walking over to them, Jesus smiled
And reached out with His hand
He prayed, and touched them one by one
And their sores dried up again
Jesus sent them to the priest
And he’d pronounce them clean
Their lives would be restored
They’d return to family
Rejoicing, they all went
Down the road to their new lives
But one of them turned back
And came to Jesus side
He told the Master thank you
Then Jesus smiled and said
My son, you are made whole
Your body is no longer dead
All your sores are vanished
Your skin again does shine
Now go your way rejoicing
But where are the other nine?
The former leper turned to Him
And said I do not know
He thanked Him one more time
And headed down the road
You see that simple thank you
Made quite a difference
Instead of only being cleansed
That leper was made whole
No more scars to show His plight
No more nasty skin
He had a new life now to live
Again He would begin
The lesson for us all in this
Is to always be aware
When Jesus comes and touches us
That Thank You should be said
Ten Lepers
