His Outstretched Hand
Clothed in utter despair
Misery was his daily portion;
All cringed and turned away,
They looked at him with caution.
Suddenly, a man's shadow fell
Upon his sorrowful face,
This kind man dared to be near,
To him it was no disgrace.
“If you just want to
You can make me clean.”
Said the man with faith
And, the Lord did lean
Forward, even closer,
Speaking words so kind,...
