From Jerusalem to Jericho, along that lonely road
A certain man was set upon and robbed of all his gold
They stripped him and they beat him
And they left him there for dead
Who was it then that came along
And bathed his aching head?

Tell me who, tell me who, tell me who!
Was this neighbor kind and true?
From Jerusalem to Jericho we're traveling every day
And many are the fallen ones that lie along the way

From Jerusalem to Jericho, a certain priest came by
He heard the poor man calling, but he could not heed his cry
He drew his robes about him and quickly walked away
Who was it then that came along and ministered that day?

Tell me who, tell me who, tell me who!
Was this neighbor kind and true?
From Jerusalem to Jericho we're traveling every day
And many are the fallen ones that lie along the way

From Jerusalem to Jericho the wounded man did lay
Along came then a Samaritan who was despised they say
He ministered unto the man and then he took him in
He paid his fare and told the host to take good care of him

Tell me who, tell me who, tell me who!
Was this neighbor kind and true?
From Jerusalem to Jericho we're traveling every day
And many are the fallen ones that lie along the way

From Jerusalem to Jericho, we're traveling every day
And many are the fallen ones that lie along the way
They seemed despised rejected but no matter what they've been
When everyone casts them out then Jesus takes them in

Tell me who, tell me who, tell me who!
Was this neighbor kind and true?
From Jerusalem to Jericho we're traveling every day
And many are the fallen ones that lie along the way
