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

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?

We were all headed down that road
'Bout to crumble beneath the load
Without Jesus
Where do you think we'd be?
