Ten Lepers

9 blind were the eyes that saw
9 deaf were the ears that heard
10 cleansed of leprosy
9 hearts that never stirred

but one came back
one came back

"Master - Master, have mercy on us"
ten lepers cried from a distance with trust
"go, show your show yourselves to the priests"
as they went they were cleansed from disease

unclean - unclean, Master save us
unclean - unclean, have pity You must

ten lepers

one came back after he was healed
shouting praise to the Master, his fate was sealed
at the feet of the Christ, on his knees he fell
"Rise and go, your faith has made you well"

unclean - unclean, Master save us
unclean - unclean, have pity - on us

ten lepers

solo

ten lepers

"were ten not cleansed?" - "where are the nine?"
none here to praise the King Divine?"
half breed of ten, the one that returned
a foreigner redeemed, eternally clean

ten lepers
ten lepers
were shown mercy

9 blind were the eyes that saw
9 deaf were the ears that heard
10 cleansed of leprosy
9 hearts that never stirred

but one came back
one came back
