Let Me Be the One
by The Steeles

Album: Left Behind

Now it happened as He went
On His way to Jerusalem
He passed through Samaria and Galilee
Standing in the distance
Were ten beggin' lepers
Crying, "Master, have mercy on me"
Jesus heard their lonely voices
So, He sent them to the priests
And they were healed
While they were on their way
But in the midst of the excitement
And emotion of the moment
Only one of them came back to say

Let me be the one that returns to thank You
Never let me think that anything I have is mine
I don't wanna take for granted
That You owe me any blessing
I just wanna be the one and not the nine

Now, before we criticize
The thankless nine from Samaria
Should we take a look
At what we ought to be
We receive a blessing
From the hand of the Father
Disregarding it so casually
Now we know we're undeserving
Yet the blessings come our way
All we do is grumble through our day
When there is so much all around us
For which we should all be thankful
Let us change our hearts so we can say

Let me be the one that returns to thank You
Never let me think that anything I have is mine
I don't wanna take for granted
That You owe me any blessing
I just wanna be the one and not the nine

Let me be the one that returns to thank You
Never let me think that anything I have is mine
I don't wanna take for granted
That You owe me any blessing
I just wanna be the one and not the nine
I just wanna be the one and not the nine
I just wanna be the one and not the nine, oh, yeah
