Long ago a man did travel from Jerusalem

To Jericho

He fell among a band of robbers

Left him for dead beside the road

The only soul who had compassion

A stranger to God's chosen race

Was one who had the heart of

Jesus and saved this man from a wretched fate

One man stopped to help his neighbor

End his suffering and pain

Now I hear the words of our dear Savior

Saying Go and Do the Same

I see a man in desperation

Out on the street most every day

But like so many other people

I turn my head the other way

Who will show the hand of mercy

Who'll give him shelter from the cold

Then I'm reminded of the story

That Jesus told so long ago

How one man stopped to help his neighbor

End his suffering and pain

Now I hear the words of our dear Savior

Saying Go and Do the Same

And when I ask Who is my neighbor

In this world of suffering and pain

Oh I hear the words of our dear Savior

Saying Go and Do the Same
