The Good Samaritan

A man was beaten and robbed lying on the roadside If not for someones help this man would of died When a young deacon came traveling along He veered away thinking something else could go wrong Next a rabbi came upon his way But he was far too busy to stop on that day But then soon a Samaritan came into sight A place known for wickedness and all that isn't right Well this Samaritan knelt down by his side And a healing oil he soon gently applied In putting him up upon his own horse For the nearest town he set the course He got him shelter and some food to eat Just a stranger who he would never again meet He paid his debt and then continued on his journey Setting the example that Jesus wanted us all to see
