Oh, when you see him walking
Down the street so all alone
I lis pride is gone, nothing to believe in
Nothing to call his own

Ain't got no one to talk with
Lost, alone, and afraid
Jesus said - If you love me then you'll feed my sheep
But like Jesus, we've been betrayed

Gotta be my brother's keeper
Though he be strong or weaker
I gotta lend him a helpin' hand
No matter what his color
Through God he's still my brother
I gotta help him if I can

There go I but for the grace of God
It could even be the Lord (he said he'd come
He was refused shelter a long time ago
Let's not be as foolish as they were before

Gotta be my brother's keeper
Though he be strong or weaker
I gotta lend him a helpin' hand
No matter what his color
Through God he's still my brother
I gotta help him if I can
