A certain man was goin down
Goin down to Jericho town
A stranger in a land so vast and cruel
Some men approached with empty hands
With empty hands they came to dance
Left him barren and bleeding, their hands full
Into the sky another gazed
Seeking the path to the perfect way
The Father told of righteous deeds He’d favor
If you love Me and and want to serve me well
Love your neighbor as you love yourself
And if for Me you voyage, to the least you’ll voice this offer
You take the ride and I'll take the road
You take the ride and I'll take the long road
You take the ride and I'll walk along beside you
No oh Lord how can this be
It’s not about them, just you and me
A chill swept through his trembling soul as the Spirit stirred
He came upon this pilgrim spent
Lost perspective, found intent
Crawled off his beast and began to voice this offer
You take the ride and I'll take the road
You take the ride and I'll take the long road
You take the ride and I'll walk along beside you
You are in need my brother
You are in pain my sister
How many yet to pass and look away
I’ve got a life, a true significant life
My family needs me home tonight
Need we assess the just or just obey
You take the ride and I'll take the road
You take the ride and I'll take the long road
You take the ride and I'll walk along beside you
