[MATTHIAS]
My heard begins to pound, I stumble through the crowds to find Him
Thousands gather 'round a man, but here I am, stuck behind Him
Why on Earth would He see me, half creature half humanity?
Is all I am my leprosy?
Decaying hands and feet
A whole and holy man, a painful shame begins to fill me
If He saw these hands and feet, would He heal or, like them, try to kill me?
Stone me, throw and cast me out, I'm a man, I have my doubts
But even then you'll hear me shout 'cause time is running out
[MATTHIAS, spoken]
Jesus!
Jesus!
Jesus!
... Leper!
[MATTHIAS]
I wanna hidе in fear of rejection, but in thе eyes of this man I see my reflection
This man knows what it's like to be unknown by your child and betrayed by your bride
In His gentle brown eyes I find something like faith
And I don't wanna run away
[MATTHIAS & JESUS & ENCORE]
Are you willing
To open your eyes to a stranger, my God?
Are you willing?
Matthias, you are no stranger of mine
Willing, willing, willing, willing
Willing, willing, willing, willing
[JESUS]
I AM willing, be cleansed
I AM willing, be cleansed
I AM willing, be cleansed, be cleansed, be cleansed!
I AM willing, be cleansed!
I AM willing, be cleansed!
I AM willing, be cleansed, be cleansed, be cleansed!
[MATTHIAS & JESUS]
My heart beats, the disease leaves
I see Him, I see forever
I'm complete as our eyes meet
Broken pieces come together
And you can clearly see
There's no more leprosy
And she doesn't know
So you have to go
[MATTHIAS & JESUS]
Leave your sin and your shame and your hurt
And your pain in the past And don't even look back
Don't even look back
Ooh-ooh oh
I will never look back
I will never
Look back
