LEPERS

A leper came to Jesus in confidence

That He was One omnipotent to cleanse:

But He had doubts about Christ's willingness.

He found a Man with more desire to bless

Than his desire to flee so sore a death,

Who freely handled him and was his Friend.

And, as for one, so was the Lord for ten

Whom first He tested in their obedience,

"Go to the priests, as evidence to them";

And they obeyed but even though they went

He had more joy in one come to confess

The glory of His grace than in the rest.
