There
came a leper to the Lord
Who cried to Him for healing,
And Jesus had compassion toward
This leper who was kneeling.
The Lord then charged him not to say
How he had thus been healed,
He
blazed the matter anyway,
Like flames across a field.
Yet now that we are charged to go
And preach to every nation,
How strange it is that we are slow
To speak of His salvation!
Since that healed leper blazed
God’s blessing then abroad,
Shouldn’t we be more amazed
With saving grace from God?
Cleanse us, Lord, from weary praise,
And purge our apathy!
Stir our hearts again to blaze
The truth that makes us free!
