I was one of many the Lord touched on that day.
Others there received the same, where are they today?
Is a healing touch so common - is it life just as before?
Can we set aside our gratefulness and be the same once more?

A simple spoken word from the Healer Divine-
Before my eyes I was made new - life, joy, peace - all mine!
How can I say thanks for all He's done with just one touch?
Could I ever be complete without showing Him as much?

Now I will always testify, though many turn away-
For He's given me a new life and a better way.
How could I leave this tender Man and continue in my sin? 
Though no one else would chose to serve, I will follow Him.

The ten of us who all were healed-and only one returned.
Countless lives that ask for help - His mercy and grace to spurn.
So many people He has touched, they're grateful but not much more
To walk away - their bodies free - spirits locked in chains once more.
I Will Be the One
