Where Are the Other Nine? (Let Me Be the One)

The road was long, the air was dry
Sun burning hot and hanging high
As Jesus walked into the town
He head the old familiar sound

Have mercy on us, the ten lepers cried
Make us whole again, clean and purified

He said to go and show the priest
That they'd been cleansed of their disease
Ten men saw that they were changed
Just one came back to praise His name

Where are the other nine?
Why did they just go on?
Where are the other nine?
Whose lives have just begun?
Out of ten, why is there only one?

He gave to ten another start
But nine of them just broke His heart
One came back, his life complete
One who bowed at Jesus' feet

And just like those men
How I've cried and prayed
And He heard my prayers
But I walked away

Where are the other nine?
I know where they go
Where are the other nine?
I need the faith that makes me whole
Please come and fill my empty soul

Where are the other nine?
Why did they just go on?
Where are the other nine?
Whose lives have just begun?
Out of ten, why is there only one?

Where are the other nine?
Where are the other nine?
Let me be like that one
Where are the other nine?
Let me be like that one
Where are the other nine?
Let me be like that one
Where are the other nine?
