Lyrics

Verse 1
A man went down to Jericho, by robbers left to die,
Stripped and wounded, broken there, beneath the desert sky.
Priest and Levite passed him by, no mercy would they show,
But a Samaritan drew near, with love that overflowed.
Chorus
Good Samaritan, with a heart of mercy true,
Bound his wounds and gave him care, as Jesus said to do!
Love thy neighbor as thyself, let compassion freely flow,
Hallelujah, show God’s love, like the good Samaritan go!
Verse 2
He poured in oil and wine, the broken hands were healed,
On his beast, he brought him safe, his kindness was revealed.
Paid the inn, said, “Care for him, I’ll recompense thy cost,”
With a heart of Christ’s own love, he sought to save the lost.
Chorus
Good Samaritan, with a heart of mercy true,
Bound his wounds and gave him care, as Jesus said to do!
Love thy neighbor as thyself, let compassion freely flow,
Hallelujah, show God’s love, like the good Samaritan go!
Bridge
Oh, who’s my neighbor, Lord, I pray? Teach me to love today!
To every soul in need I see, I’ll show Thy mercy’s way!
Thy love breaks every wall, Thy grace shall lead us home!
Chorus
Good Samaritan, with a heart of mercy true,
Bound his wounds and gave him care, as Jesus said to do!
Love thy neighbor as thyself, let compassion freely flow,
Hallelujah, show God’s love, like the good Samaritan go!
Outro
Show His love, oh, show His love… with mercy every day!
Hallelujah, praise the Lord… the good Samaritan’s way!
