I once knew a leper
And the leper, she was me
Numbed by harsh realities
And wasting away because of the enemy
Bitterly isolated
Waiting to be freed
A foreigner
Now, citizen of the kingdom from above
Hasten quickly down
To show fruit of the healing tree
Granted by Israel's Messiah
To one so bereft as me
Once a leper
Wasting away
In my sin
Destroyed from within and without
Pain without end
Bit by bit falling
Asunder
Appendages peeling away
This leperous disease of the sin nature
No longer has its sway
It is Jesus who has saved me
And brought true shalom to my soul
None other would have touched me
And undone sin's wrong
