The Good Samaritan

Lyrics

Beaten, weary, left along the way Dry from thirst 'til word I could not say Then you came walking by and looked into my eyes And saw my need and stopped to rescue me Others came and others went on by Refused to help or just too tired to try Alone at last I sat, my head fell slowly back And words from deep within me reached the sky 'I'm hungry, please feed me I'm naked, please clothe me I'm so alone, won't someone come to me?' The sound of my words died Oh, well, at least I tried And trying seemed the only thing to do But no sooner had I stopped and you were there And then I knew that God had heard my prayer I should have realized, and not have been surprised His eye is on the sparrow, so why not me Beaten, weary, left along the way Dry from thirst 'til word I could not say Then you came walking by, and looked into my eyes And saw my need and stopped to rescue me Then you came walking by, and looked into my eyes And saw my need and stopped to rescue me
