From Jerusalem to Jericho

From Jerusalem to Jericho, along that lonely road

A certain man was set upon and robbed of all his gold

They beat him and they stripped him, and they left him there for dead

Who was it then that come along and bathed the aching head?

Then who (then who), tell me who (tell me who)

Tell me who was this neighbor kind and true?

From Jerusalem to Jericho we're traveling every day

And many are the fallen ones that lie along the way

From Jerusalem to Jericho, a certain priest come by

He heard the poor man crying, but he heeded not the cry

He gathered his robes about him and he quickly passed away

Who was it then that come along and ministered that day?

Then who (then who), tell me who (tell me who)

Tell me who was this neighbor kind and true?

From Jerusalem to Jericho we're traveling every day

And many are the fallen ones that lie along the way

From Jerusalem to Jericho, a Levite came along

He heard the poor man crying, that lie upon the ground

He lifted his hands up to the heavens and he quickly passed him by

Who was it then that came along and heeded that needy cry?

Then who (then who), tell me who (tell me who)

Tell me who was this neighbor kind and true?

From Jerusalem to Jericho we're traveling every day

And many are the fallen ones that lie along the way

From Jerusalem to Jericho, when life was ebbing away

Along come that Samaritan who was despised, they say

He ministered to the dying man, he carried him to an inn

He paid his fare and told the host to take good care of him

Then who (then who), tell me who (tell me who)

Tell me who was this neighbor kind and true?

From Jerusalem to Jericho we're traveling every day

And many are the fallen ones that lie along the way

From Jerusalem to Jericho, a-traveling every day

And many are the fallen ones that lie along the way

Oh, some despised and some rejected, but it's no matter how they've been

When everybody turns you down, then Jesus takes you in
