The Test For Leprosy Lyrics

[Words & 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 lepresy
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 atonement
Pronunce 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
