The Other Nine

They were tormented each day and their suffering was severe
These 10 leopards making their way for the Lord was near
Standing beyond the crowd, these 10 men began to cry out
Their desperate cries so loud reflecting they're difficult bout

Jesus will always hear, as He called them over to His Side
His power not yet clear, until in His Word they abide
For as they walked away, it became apparent and clear
They were all cured today, but from just one would Jesus hear

One of the 10 returned, as the others went their way
For this ones heart had yearned to thank Jesus that day
Of where the others went, noting only the Sumerian returned
The message Jesus had sent only a very few have discerned

Look down on no one, but for God's Grace it could be you
Thanking Him for His Son in the making of us brand new
Always putting His Name first above every other name
So even at our absolute worst it's His Victory we can claim

Luke 17:11-19
