From 1969 Tyne Tees TV show 'Life With Johnny'. It was used in the episode 'Johnny Up The Creek'
There's a road which leads from Jerusalem The way down to Jericho It's Compassion Road A steep and tiring road There's danger and thieving foe
And on this road is one man Beaten up and left half-dead Like many in this world around us Oppressed in despair oh unfair
Hear him cry out As he lies on Compassion Road Hear him cry out
As he lies on Compassion Road
A priest and Levite walk down the road Giving the man small heed They are too caught up with religious thoughts To help a man in need
Samaritan, walk behind them You are just not in their class But you are the one that helps him You could not see need and just pass
You heard a cry As you walked on Compassion Road You heard the cry As you walked on Compassion Road
Compassion Road goes right through life It's a road with us still today Many hands are needed to give the help To those stricken on the way
So now will you show compassion To the lonely, hungry, and worn Without hope or salvation Too fearful, poor, and forlorn
Lord, give us grace To help on Compassion Road Lord, give us grace To help on Compassion Road
To help on Compassion Road To help on Compassion Road To help on Compassion Road To help on Compassion Road To help on Compassion Road To help on Compassion Road To help on Compassion Road To help on Compassion Road
