He Reached Down
A certain man, one day did go
Down to Jericho,
Falling among thieves along the way.
They stripped him then they fled,
Leaving him for dead,
Lying on the side of the road.
Then a priest came passing by,
He crossed over to the other side,
Then a Levi came and he did just the same.
Then a Samaritan heard his cry,
He couldnot pass on by,
Dressed his wounds and he carried him to ? ?
He reached down
He reached down
Right there on the ground,
He reached down, he reached down
And he touched the pain.
(Two lines indecipherable)
He reached down, he reached down
And he touched the pain.
The Scribes and the Pharissees brought
The adultress that Jesus saved,
Lord said he says that 'The law says that she must be stoned,
If there's one of you without sin,
You can cast the first stone in.'
One by one they left Lord Jesus and that woman alone.
He reached down
He reached down,
Right there on the ground,

He reached down,he reached down,
And he touched the pain.
'No casters a left that I see,
? ? that I condemn thee.'
He reached down, he reached down
And he touched the pain.
In the book the story got told,
About the traveller at the end of life's road,
Sat at the gates of the kingdom ad the master said 'Come on in.
I was hungry and you gave me meat,
I was cold, you put shoes on my feet,
I was in prison and you came to see about me.
You reached down,
You reached down,
Right there on the ground,
You reached down, you reached down
And you touched my pain.
Well you did it to the least of these,
That you would do it unto me,
You reached down, you reached down
And you touched my pain.'
He reached down,
He reached down
And he touched the pain,
He reached down
Oh reached down
And he touched the pain.
