Chorus: Ten unclean and no where to go,
Ten men cleansed as clean as snow,
One returned to give God thanks,
But nine went away.
- Ten men, lepers in a Hebrew town,
Ten crying: “Lord, won’t you please come down”
No hope near, till one fine day,
Jesus of Nazareth passed that way. - “Lord make me lean,” was their single cry,
“See, how the whole world passes us by,
No man’s home will take us in!”
Then Christ bent to touch their skin. - Like a tree when its bud come true,
Or a patch of spring that is fresh and new,
Christ restored the ones defiled,
Gave them the flesh of a new-born child. - God gives gifts to us ev’ry day,
Favours His people in ev’ry way;
Hope restored and pain relieved,
Do you ever give thanks for a gift received?
