Like that one leper=who CAME BACK
And said thank you=THANK YOU TO GOD
Our Holy Father=for THE GREATEST GIFT!
One of the TEN LEPERS=Jesus saved
Went back and said=thank you
“Jesus asked’=
‘Were not all ten cleansed?=
WHERE are the other nine?
Has no one RETURNED
To give PRAISE to God
Except this foreigner?’
Then he said to them=

Has made you well’”
