One day a man was traveling down a dusty road
Somebody saw him carrying a heavy load
But there were three robbers, they took everything
They left him lying there, beaten in pain
After a while another man came along
Dressed in royalty, he was whistling a song
He didn't stop or have pity on him
He left him lying there alone again
Chorus:
Who is your neighbor
Who is your friend
Who is your neighbor
Who will be Jesus to him, Jesus to him
The sun comes and goes, he's still lying there
Other people pass and they just stare
A judge and a priest and a Pharisee
Passing him by, they don't want to see
But then someone reaches out to him
He's from another country and another skin
He says, "I'll help you, I don't have much"
Sharing his home and a gentle touch
Oh, the Good Samaritan
(Repeat Chorus)
