LYING ON THE RAILROAD TRACKS

If someone’s lying on the railroad tracks

And a train’s about to come,

Would you just leave him lying there?

What would you have done?

If someone’s away from worship,

You know that they need help.

Are you going to keep quiet?

And keep The Word to yourself?

If a friend is living sinfully, and

You know that they need aid,

Are you going to keep quiet?

And just say, “at least I prayed”?

Or will you be a Barnabas?

Encourage however you can?

Help them to live for Jesus.

Walk together, hand-in-hand.
