The Good Samaritan
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Chorus:
How can you love God and not you fellow man?
How can you love your brother and not lend a helping hand?
If someone's in trouble, we all know what to do,
just read Luke the tenth chapter, God speaks to me and you.
Verse 1:
On the road to Jericho, a Jewish man passed by,
they beat him, robbed him, stripped him, and they left the man to die.
A priest came by and He saw him, and he heard his feeble cry,
but just to keep from helping, he crossed to the other side.
Verse 2:
A Levite came down the Jericho road full of curiosity,
he also heard his cry for help and crossed the road to see,
The Levite did not help him, but crossed to the other side,
he went along, along his way and he left the man to die;
how can you love God...
Chorus
Verse 3:
Along came the good Samaritan, a true man of God,
He stopped to wait on his brother and hardened not his heart.
He gave the man assistance and took him to an inn,
he said, whatever is right, I will repay it when I return again;
how can you love God...
Chorus
Vamp 1:
Tenors:
I am a true believer, that I'm my brother's keeper.
I am a true believer, that I'm my brother's keeper.
Altos:
Love is the only way, lead a soul to Christ today.
Love is the only way, lead a soul to Christ today.
Sopranos:
If my brother's in trouble so am I.
If my brother's in trouble so am I.
Vamp 2:
If my brother's in trouble so am I.
If my brother's in trouble so am I.
Ending:
If my brother's in trouble so am I.
