The Man With Leprosy

By Royston Nella

“Unclean, unclean” the leper had to say
and sadly watch the people run away.
But then to Jesus at the mountainside he came
to be healed of all his sickness and his shame.

Wow, did you see what Jesus did?
He touched the leper from whom they hid.
The Holy One touched this unclean soul.
Took away his shame and made him whole.
