See the man lying in the street
Cold and hungry trying to sleep
And you say, how'd he get to be that way
See the girl living on the run
Giving love away just for fun
And you say, how'd she get to be that way
Don't you see that it could be you
Doing things you never thought you'd do
If it weren't for Jesus
Where do you think you'd be
We were all headed down that road
'Bout to crumble beneath the load
Then He rescued you and He rescued me
Without Jesus where do you think we'd be
See the boy full of hate
So impatient just can't wait
And you say, how'd he get to be that way
See the hungry see the poor
They need your help but you slam the door
And then say, how'd they get to be that way
Don't look down on the one who is down on his luck
We were down there too when He picked us up
Repeat Chorus
Cold and hungry trying to sleep
And you say, how'd he get to be that way
See the girl living on the run
Giving love away just for fun
And you say, how'd she get to be that way
Don't you see that it could be you
Doing things you never thought you'd do
If it weren't for Jesus
Where do you think you'd be
We were all headed down that road
'Bout to crumble beneath the load
Then He rescued you and He rescued me
Without Jesus where do you think we'd be
See the boy full of hate
So impatient just can't wait
And you say, how'd he get to be that way
See the hungry see the poor
They need your help but you slam the door
And then say, how'd they get to be that way
Don't look down on the one who is down on his luck
We were down there too when He picked us up
Repeat Chorus
