"One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?" (Luke 17:15-17).
None of the nine returned to give thanks
For all of the healing that Jesus had done.
Among those ten lepers, all that broke ranks
To give thanks and praise to the Lord was just one.
And where are the nine that we are addressing
Reflected today in our attitude?
They're seen when we have received the Lord's blessing
And just as those nine, forget gratitude.
Forgive us, O Lord, and heal our nation;
How greatly You've blessed America's land!
Revive us, O Lord, and send Your salvation,
As now we give thanks for Your merciful hand!
