KEITH GREEN - On The Road to Jericho lyrics

I left jerusalemlast week for jericho

In the afternoonthe sun was getting low

And then the bushes shookand out they came at me

They were robbing half nakedwhile they beat me head to toe

And they left me on the road to jericho.

Lying almost slainand wounded by the road

Crying out in pain for a sympathetic soul

First a priestand another of my kind

Well they were men I could have trustedbut they left me deaf and blind

They were strangers on the road to jericho.

Through the blood and tearsI saw a worried face

He was from samariamy people hate his race

He bandaged up my wounds and laid me on his horse

Although my memory is cloudyI still can feel his friendly flow

Such a kind man on the road to jericho.

When I later asked the innkeeper the man's name he did not know

Just a neighbor on the road to jericho.
