The Test For Leprosy
words and music by Ted Kirkpatrick

Under the Law
Set by Almighty God
The Priests had the power
to change your destiny.
Festering boils
chronic disease
for seven days
complete isolation

The Test for Leprosy
Find you Unclean

Consigned to neglect
outside the city gates
tear all your clothes
and cover your face
One hope you have
your sores will turn white
thru ritual attonement
pronounce you clean

The Test for Leprosy
Heal the Unclean

Leprosy, leprosy
unclean
Leprosy, leprosy
unclean
We are all like lepers
without Christ's love in us
let him heal you let him
heal you let him will you.


Lev. 13-14
Jer. 17:14
Ps. 30:2
Matt. 8:2-3
Luke 17:11-19
