We've stumbled across the lyrics to a song I learned in Sunday School, and so I am completely unable to read these words with anything like objectivity because I can only hear the melody in the background....
"And the man went WALKING and LEAPING and Praising God, WALKING and LEAPING and Praising God...."
Love these words, though, and the melody only serves to highlight them. Before we've read about people who gave thanks to Jesus for healing them, the 1 leper of 10 who turned back particularly to give thanks and praise...but this is the first time I've really seen a man filled with exuberant joy over his healing. Having been lovingly carried by his friends each day to beg for alms at the gate - he doesn't just stand up and go to the temple and pray his thanksgiving - he's LEAPING around the temple. Leap.. leap.. leap -- spread the joy!
