Exchanged Life Spirituality

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 Im good for that too

He reached down, he reached down

And he touched the pain

 

And the Scribes and the Pharisees

Brought the adultress in for Jesus to see

Lord, shes sinned, now the law says she must be stoned

If theres a one of you thats without sin

Then you can cast the first stone in

One by one they left, leaving Jesus and the woman alone

 

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 book a little story got told

About a traveler at the end of lifes road

Hes 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 did it 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
