I Am Willing

While Jesus was in one of the towns A man came along who was covered with leprosy

When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground

And begged him, Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean

Jesus reached out his hand and then touched the man

I am willing, he said, be clean

And immediately the leprosy left him

Then Jesus ordered him, don't tell anyone but go, show yourself to the priest

And offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing as a testimony to them

Yet the news about him spread all the more

So that crowds of people came to hear him
