** Original Text (Luke 17:11-19, WEB)

11 As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
12 As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.
13 They lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
14 When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." As they went, they were cleansed.
15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
16 He fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
17 Jesus answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?"
19 Then he said to him, "Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you."

** Only One Came Back Blues Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
On the road to Jerusalem, Jesus passed by,
Where the broken and outcast lifted a cry.
Ten lepers stood, scarred and worn,
By the edge of the town, rejected and torn.
"Jesus, Master, have mercy," they plead,
Seeking a healer for their desperate need.

(Chorus)
But only one came back, with his heart laid bare,
Only one returned, with a prayerful stare,
Nine walked away, to their own lives anew,
But only one came back, Lord, to give thanks to You.

(Verse 2)
With every step, they watched their pain fade,
Skin smooth as silk, for the price He paid.
Freedom from sickness, they all received,
But only one truly believed.
He turned around, his voice raised high,
"Praise be to God!" was his grateful cry.

(Chorus)
Only one came back, in the morning's light,
Only one knelt down to do what's right,
Ten were healed, but faith was the key,
Only one returned, Lord, to worship Thee.

(Bridge)
Jesus asked, "Weren't ten cleansed here today?
Where are the nine who just walked away?
Is there no one left to honor this gift,
To bring their thanks, their voices lift?"
The foreigner answered, with a humbled soul,
"Lord, I am here, made perfectly whole."

(Verse 3)
The man was a Samaritan, an outsider known,
Rejected by many, always alone.
Yet he saw the miracle, felt grace's embrace,
And fell at the feet of the One full of grace.
With tears in his eyes, he whispered and said,
"Thank You, my Savior, who raised me from dead."

(Chorus)
Only one came back, with a faith so deep,
Only one returned, his promise to keep,
Nine walked on, but his heart was changed,
Only one knew the depth of grace unchained.

(Verse 4)
When mercy finds you, don't let it fade,
Remember the One who the sacrifice made.
For healing is deeper than skin or bone;
It's the grace that makes you His very own.
And as you walk, never forget,
The One who met you when your soul was set.

(Final Chorus)
Only one came back, with his soul set free,
Only one returned, with humility,
Ten were cleansed, but one found his place,
Only one came back, wrapped in Heaven's grace.

(Outro)
So, when you're healed, don't walk away,
Let gratitude guide you every day.
Remember that one who came back true,
And sing your own "Thank You" blues.
