A sacred hymn with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Mary Ann Snowball.  YouTube video: Dusty Roads to Jericho
See text below:

Dusty roads to Jericho obscured my open sight
Like an unseen obstacle through darkness in the night.
Bleeding from a heartless thrust from thieves along my path,
I became a victim of one robber’s ruthless wrath.

Wounded there, and left for dead, a royal Priest passed by.
Then a Levite left the scene, while crossing side to side.
Soon a lone Samaritan stopped, offering pure gold,
Pouring in a holy oil and wine with love untold.

Cleansed and clothed, sure healing left me truly sanctified.
With more perfect eyes I sensed this sacred sacrifice.
Looking up, I noticed Jesus standing by my side.
With a clearer sight I knew the reason He had died.

Sacramental wine becomes an ordinance of awe.
Purging oil hallows ev’ry liberating law.
Covenantal trials let me see God’s love unfold
As I walk the dusty roads to my old Jericho.
