Jericho Road (Pts 1-3) Lyrics

Did you really see what you wanted to see

When you walked up the Jericho Road

If your eyes could lie, please tell me why

Tell me what you've been told

Did they ever teach that the truth's out of reach

When you walk up the Jericho Road

Did they ever say now this is the best way home

Watch and weep while they pass by his feet

As they travel on the Jericho Road

See their faces writ with casual disdain

See the their 'love' of God grow cold

And you could pass by on the opposite side

Of that same old Jericho Road

Or do something new, to maybe break the mould

Did you see his face, his naked disgrace

When you passed him on the Jericho Road

Did you stop to think, maybe offer him drink

Maybe bring him in from the cold

So here's a chance to do something new

Next time you're on the Jericho Road

That man on the ground, the one you might have found

He's your neighbour whatever you're told

When you stop to think, you know he's just like you

A man on this journey called life

So bind his wounds and pay his debt, return him to the fight

But no matter what they say, don't turn away, it could be you next time
