(Verse 1)
2
A certain man one day did go down to Jericho
3
Fallin among thieves along the way
4
Well they stripped him then they fled
5
Leaving him for dead
6
Lying on the side of the road
7
And then the priest came passing by
8
He crossed over to the other side
9
Then the Levite came and he did just the same
10
When the Samaritan heard his cry
11
He just could not pass on by
12
He dressed his wounds and he carried to the nearest inn
13
(Chorus)
14
Well he reached down, he reached down
15
He got right there on the ground
16
He reached down, he reached down
17
And he touched the pain
18
He paid the keeper the amount that was due
19
If you need more he said Im good for that too
20
He reached down, he reached down
21
And he touched the pain
22
(Verse 2)
23
And the Scribes and the Pharisees
24
Brought the adultress in for Jesus to see
25
Lord, shes sinned, now the law says she must be stoned
26
If theres a one of you thats without sin
27
Then you can cast the first stone in
28
One by one they left, leaving Jesus and the woman alone
29
< Sing Chorus >
30
Well no accusers are left that I see
31
And Woman, neither do I condemn thee
32
He reached down, he reached down
33
And he touched the pain
34
< Guitar Solo >
35
(Verse 3)
36
In the book a little story got told
37
About a traveler at the end of lifes road
38
Hes at the gates of the Kingdom and the Master says Come on in
39
For I was hungry and you gave me meat
40
I was cold you put shoes on my feet
41
When I was in prison there was you who come to see about me
42
(Chorus Modified)
43
Well you reached down, you reached down
44
You got right there on the ground
45
You reached down, you reached down
46
And you touched my pain
47
When you did it to the least of these
48
He said you were doin it unto me
49
You reached down, you reached down
50
And you touched my pain
51
Well he reached down, he reached down
52
And he touched the pain
