Author: Jan Wesson Hymnal: Singing the New Testament #35 (2008) Meter: 11.8.11.8.8 First Line: They asked, "Who's my neighbor and whom should I love Lyrics: 1 They asked, "Who's my neighbor and whom should I love;
for whom should I do a good deed?"
The Master related a story and said,
"It's anyone who has a need, yes,
anyone who has a need!"
2 There once was a traveler set on by thieves
who beat him and left him to die;
a priest and a Levite each saw him in pain;
but they turned away and walked by, yes,
they turned away and walked by!
3 A certain Samaritan then came along
to bind up his wounds and give aid;
he took him to stay at an inn until well,
and for all the service he paid, yes,
for all the service he paid!
4 I know who's my neighbor and whom I should love,
for whom I should do a good deed;
for Christ made it clear in the story he told -
it's any one who has a need, yes,
anyone who has a need! Topics: Jesus Christ Teaching of; Love for each other; Ministry and Service; Missions and Witness; Obedience (see also Will of God); Society Scripture: Luke 10:25-37 Languages: English Tune Title: WHO'S MY NEIGHBOR
