Keith Green – On The Road To Jericho lyrics
I left Jerusalem last week for Jericho
In the afternoon, the sun was getting low
And then the bushes shook, and out they came at me
They were robbing me, half-naked, while they beat me head to toe
And they left me on the road to Jericho
Lying almost slain, and wounded by the road
Crying out in pain for a sympathetic soul
First a priest, and then another of my kind
Well, they were men I could have trusted, but they acted deaf and blind
They were strangers on the road to Jericho
Oh, Jericho
Jericho
Oh, Jericho
Oh, Jericho
Through the blood and tears, I saw a worried face
He was from Samaria, my people hate his race
He bandaged up my wounds and he laid me on his horse
Although my memory is cloudy, I can still feel his friendly flow
Such a kind man on the road to Jericho
Jericho
When I later asked the innkeeper the man's name he did not know
Just a neighbor on the road to Jericho
Jericho
Jericho
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Jericho
No, oh, oh, oh
Jericho
In the afternoon, the sun was getting low
And then the bushes shook, and out they came at me
They were robbing me, half-naked, while they beat me head to toe
And they left me on the road to Jericho
Lying almost slain, and wounded by the road
Crying out in pain for a sympathetic soul
First a priest, and then another of my kind
Well, they were men I could have trusted, but they acted deaf and blind
They were strangers on the road to Jericho
Oh, Jericho
Jericho
Oh, Jericho
Oh, Jericho
Through the blood and tears, I saw a worried face
He was from Samaria, my people hate his race
He bandaged up my wounds and he laid me on his horse
Although my memory is cloudy, I can still feel his friendly flow
Such a kind man on the road to Jericho
Jericho
When I later asked the innkeeper the man's name he did not know
Just a neighbor on the road to Jericho
Jericho
Jericho
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Jericho
No, oh, oh, oh
Jericho
