WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR


Neighbor for neighbor
Don’t just walk on by
Neighbor for neighbor
Let us all
Love one another
Come on
Let’s give it a try

Neighbor for neighbor
Don’t just walk on by

In the 10th chapter
Of Saint Luke’s Gospel
A young man asks Jesus
Who is my neighbor

Jesus responds with a story
About a man
Who was robbed, stripped
And left lying
By the side of the road

Neighbor for neighbor
Don’t just walk on by
This is me loving you
Let us help one another
Let us
Give it a try

Jesus goes on to say
A priest comes by
And just keeps on going

Neighbor for neighbor
Give it a try

A Levite passes by
And just keeps on going

Neighbor for neighbor
Don’t just walk on by

But a Samaritan comes by
Stops, bandages his wounds
Takes the man to an inn
Pays for his room
And even stops
To check on him on his way home

Who is my neighbor

Neighbor for neighbor
Don’t just walk on by
Let us all
Be there for one another
Come on
Let’s give it a try

Neighbor for neighbor
I love you all
Neighbor for neighbor
Let us all give it a try

So
Who is my neighbor

My neighbor
Is anyone in need

So world
Let us all
Just try
To love one another

And
WE WILL GET BY
