Acappella Dime Rhyme Segue song lyrics

Consider this guy I saw the other day

Downtown early morning he stopped me and said

Could you spare some change or maybe even a buck

He scribbled "Jesus Loves You!" on a cardboard box

I looked him over quickly just so see if he was worthy

But he was dirty, he was dingy and he'd had a few too many

So I turned away and I walked on by

I was headed to Mickey D's for coffee and an apple pie

But I couldn't get him out of my mind

"When you're doing it to the least of these

You're doing it to me," kept creepin' up in the back of my mind ya see

I forgot to be Jesus; I had missed an opportunity

I turned around to go back and be the man I know I should be

When I got back to the corner where I knew the guy was standin'

He was already gone, he disappeared without a warnin'

The only thing left was a "Jesus Loves You!" sign and

The dot on the exclamation point was covered with a dime

Scriptural Reference:

"But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, 'And who is my neighbor?' In reply Jesus said: 'A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side." Luke 10: 29-32
