Only a poor man was...
Illustration
Only a poor man was Laz'rus that day
When he lay down at the rich man's gate.
He begged for the crumbs of the rich man to eat;
He was only a tramp found dead on the street.
He was some mother's darlin', he was some mother's son
Once he was fair and once he was young.
Some mother rocked him, her little baby, to sleep;
But they left him to die like a tramp on the street.
Jesus who died on Calvary's tree
Shed his life's blood for you and for me.
They pierced His side, His hands and His feet
But they left Him to die like a tramp on the street.

"(Abraham) said to (the rich man): 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if some one should rise from the dead.'"
