(Verse 1)
Verses 30 to 37, Luke chapter 10
A man was on his way when the trouble began
Beaten by thieves, left to suffer alone
Wounded and bleeding, no help of his own
A priest walked by, but he looked away
Then came a Levite who did the same that day
But mercy didn’t come from those high above
It came from a stranger with a heart full of love
(Chorus)
Oh, the Good Samaritan, he crossed the line
Didn’t care about the color or the ties that bind
He saw the pain, and he took the man in
That’s what it means to truly love within
Oh, be that neighbor, be that friend
Show compassion that don’t ever end
Jesus said, “Go and do the same”
Let love be more than just a name
(Verse 2)
He bound up his wounds, poured the oil and wine
Put him on his donkey, gave him shelter and time
Paid for his care, and said, “Do what you must”
He gave without gain, he gave out of trust
It wasn’t about race, it wasn’t about pride
It was mercy that moved him, love that couldn’t hide
Jesus told the story so we’d understand
To love like the Samaritan, heart in our hands
(Chorus)
Oh, the Good Samaritan, he crossed the line
Didn’t care about the color or the ties that bind
He saw the pain, and he took the man in
That’s what it means to truly love within
Oh, be that neighbor, be that friend
Show compassion that don’t ever end
Jesus said, “Go and do the same”
Let love be more than just a name
(Bridge)
It ain’t the title or the robe you wear
It’s the love you show and the way you care
If someone’s hurting, don’t walk on by
Reach out your hand and lift them high
(Final Chorus)
Be the Good Samaritan, take that stand
Love your neighbor, lend a helping hand
Let your heart be moved by heaven’s call
To love the least, to give your all
Oh, be that neighbor, be that friend
Let the mercy of God never end
Jesus said, “Now go and do the same”
Let love be more than just a name
