Fullness of Healing

Ten lepers approached, keeping their distance.
“Jesus have mercy!” They called for assistance.
     “To the priests you must go
     and yourselves to them show.”
Just one who was cleansed returned to give thanks

to Jesus in gratitude for healing.
While praising aloud as he was kneeling
     at the Saviour's feet
     his joy was complete.
Just this foreigner found fullness of healing.

Luke 17.11-18
