The Good Samaritan (Remastered)
Track 3
A question on the hillside How do I find the light? And who is my neighbor on this narrow road tonight? A traveler drops on Jericho’s hard and empty ground Robbed and left in silence where only echoes sound
A priest walks by a distance, a Levite too moves on The shadows pass like strangers, the mercy’s window’s gone But love crosses borders, we draw with fear and pride A foreign heart grows nearer and kneels at wounded sight
Be my neighbor on the road, when I fall and when I’m cold By my bleeding with your wine and oil of soul Live me to your feast of grace Pay the cost I could not owe
Teach me mercy, son of man On the road to Jericho Samaritan, an enemy In every story told
Stops beneath the burning sun His kindness taking hold He pours the oil and wine He lifts with careful hands
He pays the keeper’s wages Till the healing understands It’s not who qualifies for love But will I be a friend
The question turns and finds my heart Begin again Be my neighbor on the road When I fall and when I’m cold
Buy my bleeding with your wine and oil of salt Lift me to your beast of grace Pay the cost I could not own Teach me mercy, son of man
On the road to Jericho. If perfect love is law fulfilled, then who can bear its weight? I need the merciful to rescue me and make me mercy’s face. So change my eyes to see the one I’d rather pass.
And make me move toward brokenness like you have moved us Be my neighbor on the road when I fall and when I’m cold Jesus pour your wine and oil on my soul Lift me with your rugged love
Pay the debt I could not know Then send me, say, and go and do On the road to Jericho
Be my neighbor on the road When I’m falling, when I’m cold Jesus, pour your wine and oil on my soul Live me with your rugged love
Pay the debt I could not know Then send me, say, and go and do On the road to Jericho
A question on the hillside turns into a light Love has crossed the border, teach me how to ride
