Story Behind the Song
Thoughts about a passage in the Bible. The song was written in Belzoni, Ms and took a week to write. It was recorded in two days.
Lyrics
Once there were ten lepers, stained with loathsome sin.
Jesus came and cleansed them and made them whole again.
One came back to praise Him with a thankful heaart within.
He heard the Savior asking, "Did I not cleanse all ten?"
"Where are the others for whom I shed my blood.
Where are the others, just one understood.
They should be thankful and praise me all the time.
Where are the others, oh where are the nine?"
Before I heard this story, with nine I I identified,
for Jesus came and cleansed me, sinner such as I.
Now I've come to love Him and oh what a terrible cost,
He paid for me at Calvary, hanging on a cross.
All you sinful lepers, that Jesus cleansed and made whole.
Surely you will praise Him for the saving of your soul.
Will He ask the question He asked way back in time.
"Where are the others, are you one of the nine?"
