And he (Jesus) said unto him (leper),
“Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath madethee whole.” Luke 17:19 (KJV)
Ten men cried for mercy
Leper was their namesSince the day it happened
Life had never been the same
Each must have longed once more to hold
The loved ones in his lifeA gentle touch; one warm embrace
Of mother, child, or wife
But that could never happen
Because there was no cureFor the dread disease that ate away
Their lives year after year
Then one day on their journey
As they walked along the roadThey met a man named Jesus
And they called to be made whole
All ten begged for mercy
As He began to speakGo to the priests and show yourselves
Then you will be made clean
Ten turned and ran, but one came back
And bowed before the LordOh thank you sir
I glorify your name forevermore
Christ began to question him
Where are the other nine
Could none be found with praise to God
Could they not take the time
Then once again sweet Jesus spoke
To the Samaritan on his wayNine leper’s lives were cleansed
But faith has made you whole today!
How is your relationship with God? Are you like the nine who were cleansed and went on their way, or are you one made whole?
