Tramp On The Street Lyrics

Tramp On The Street lyrics

Only a tramp was Lazarus that day,
He who lay down by the rich man's
gate.
Well, he begged for some crumbs from the rich man to eat
But they
left him to die like a ramp on the street.


chorus
He was some
mother's darlin', he was some mother's son;
Once he was fair and once he was
young,
And some mother rocked him, a little darlin' to sleep,
But they
left him to die like a tramp on the street.


If Jesus should come and
knock on your door,
Would you let Him come in and pick from your
store?
Would you turn Him away, with nothing to eat?
Would you leave Him
to die like a tramp on the street?


second chorus
He was Mary's
own darlin', he was God's chosen son;
Once He was fair and once he was
young,
And Mary, she rocked Him, a little darlin' to sleep,
But they left
him to die like a tramp on the street.


Jesus, He died on Calvary's
peak,
Nails in His hands, Lord, nails in His feet,
Gave His life's blood
for you and for me,
But they left Him to die like a tramp on the street.
