I am no longer an outcast

With the leper we shout
we cry out in praise
the need to be humble
to follow Christ at all cost

For we are redeemed
our old live cast off
like new skin of a birthing
a cleansing of our past

I am no longer an outcast
I am healed of my sin
I am here in your presence
Oh how I want to sing
