On the Jericho Road

1

As you travel along 

On the Jericho road,

Does the world seem all wrong

And heavy your load?

Just bring it to Christ,

Your sins all confess,

On the Jericho road

Your heart he will bless.

2

On the Jericho road

Blind Bartimaeus sat,

His life was a void,

So empty and flat;

But Jesus appeared,

One word brought him sight,

On the Jericho road

Christ banished his night.

3

O brother, to you

This message I bring,

Though hope may be gone,

He'll cause you to sing;

At Jesus' command,

Sin's shackles must fall,

On the Jericho road

Will you answer his call?

CHORUS

On the Jericho road

There's room for just two,

No more and no less,

Just Jesus and you;

Each burden he'll bear,

Each sorrow he'll share,

There's never a care

For Jesus is there.

Luke 18:36-43

And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

Mark 10:46-52

And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
