He Reached Down

A certain man one day did go down to Jericho
 Fallin' among thieves along the way
 Well they stripped him then they fled
 Leaving him for dead
 Lying on the side of the road
 And then the priest came passing by
 He crossed over to the other side
 Then the Levite came and he did just the same
 When the Samaritan heard his cry
 He just could not pass on by
 He dressed his wounds and he carried to the nearest inn
 Well he reached down, he reached down
 He got right there on the ground
 He reached down, he reached down
 And he touched the pain
 He paid the keeper the amount that was due
 If you need more he said I'm good for that too
 He reached down, he reached down
 And he touched the pain
 And then the Scribes in the Pharicese
 Brought the adultress in for Jesus to see
 Lord, she's sinned, now the law says she must be stoned
 If there's a one of you that's without sin
 Said you can cast the first stone in
 One by one they left, leaving Jesus and the woman alone
 Well he reached down, he reached down
 He got right there on the ground
 He reached down, he reached down
 And he touched the pain
 He paid the keeper the amount that was due
 If you need more he said I'm good for that too
 He reached down, he reached down
 And he touched the pain
 Well no accusers are left that I see
 And Woman, neither do I condemn thee
 He reached down, he reached down
 And he touched the pain
 In the Bible a story is told
 About a traveler at the end of life's road
 He's at the gates of the Kingdom and the Master says "Come on in"
 For I was hungry and you gave me meat
 I was cold you put shoes on my feet
 When I was in prison there was you who come to see about me
 Well you reached down, you reached down
 You got right there on the ground
 You reached down, you reached down
 And you touched my pain
 When you're debted to the least of these
 He said you were doin' it unto me
 You reached down, you reached down
 And you touched my pain
 Well he reached down, he reached down
 And he touched the pain
