On the Dusty Road to Jericho

On the dusty road to Jericho,

The worst in us is seen 

How we see the need of miracles!

Our greatest pleas...made real! 

Jesus heals and He cleans!

   Jan 21, 2019 · One of Jesus' most well-known stories is the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10: 25-37), about the man travelling from Jerusalem to Jericho along the Jericho road.

2. Verse 1]

   On the dusty road to Jericho

   All my pride gets scraped and shown

   All my hidden hurt and rage

   Spilled out in the heat of day

   
   

   I see anger in their eyes

   I feel envy in my own

   Every heart is cracked and dry

   Every secret sin exposed

   
   

   [Chorus]

   On the dusty path of Jericho

   The worst in us is all we know

   How we need a miracle

   Every wounded heart revealed

   On this broken road

   Our greatest pleas

   Jesus hears and Jesus heals

   Oh

   He bends to where we bleed

   Jesus heals

   Jesus cleans

   
   

   [Verse 2]

   There’s a beggar on the roadside

   Calling out a shattered name

   There’s a bruised and beaten traveler

   Left alone in guilt and shame

   
   

   I have walked on by in silence

   I have crossed the street in fear

   But Your footsteps cut across it

   And Your mercy pulls me near

   
   

   [Chorus]

   On the dusty path of Jericho

   The worst in us is all we know

   How we need a miracle

   Every wounded heart revealed

   On this broken road

   Our greatest pleas

   Jesus hears and Jesus heals

   Oh

   He bends to where we bleed

   Jesus heals

   Jesus cleans

   
   

   [Bridge]

   You touch the blind

   They see again (see again)

   You call the dead heart out of death (come and live)

   You take the stain I could not rinse

   You wash me whiter than my sense

   
   

   [Chorus]

   On the dusty path of Jericho

   The worst in us is all we know

   How we need a miracle

   Every wounded heart revealed

   On this broken road

   Our greatest pleas

   Jesus hears and Jesus heals

   Oh

   He bends to where we bleed

   Jesus heals

   Jesus cleans

   Jesus heals

   Jesus cleans (oh, He cleans)
