A leper came to Him and kneeling down begged Him and said:

“If You wish, You can make me clean.”

Moved with pity, He stretched out His hand,

Touched the leper and said to him,

“I do will it.  Be made clean.”

The leprosy left him immediately

And He was made clean.

(Mark 1:40-45)

Lord Jesus, we have loved ones, deep in the throes of sin.

They’ve rejected the Gospel or given it some senseless spin.

We surrender our lives to You.  We trust You with our every need.

We give to You all that we have.  To You we now plead,

Have pity on our loved ones.  Stretch toward them Your healing hand.

Fill loved loves with Your wisdom.  Your truth let them understand.

Go now to our loved ones Lord.  Help them upon You lean.

Jesus, if You will it, You can make our loved ones clean.
