Only a tramp was
Lazarus sad fate
He who lay down at
The rich man's gate
He begged for the crumbs from
The rich man to eat
He was only a tramp found
Dead on the street
He was some mothers darling
He was some mothers son
Once he was fair and
Once he was young
And some mother rocked him
Her darling to sleep
But they left him to die like
A tramp on the street
Jesus who died on
Calvarys tree
He shed his lifes blood for
You and for me
They pierced his side
And then his feet
And they left him to die like
A tramp on the street
He was Mary's own darling
He was God's chosen son
Once he was fair and
Once he was young
Mary, she rocked him
Her darling to sleep
But they left him to die like
A tramp on the street
If Jesus should come and
Knock on your door
For a place to come in or
Bread from your store
Would you welcome Him in or
Turn Him away
Then the God's would deny you
On the Great Judgment day
