Song: He Reached Down Tab
He Reached Down
(Verse 1)
C F C
A certain man one day did go down to Jericho
G7 C
Fallin� among thieves along the way
C
Well they stripped him then they fled
F C
Leaving him for dead
G7 C
Lying on the side of the road
C
And then the priest came passing by
F C
He crossed over to the other side
G7 C
Then the Levite came and he did just the same
C
When the Samaritan heard his cry
F C
He just could not pass on by
G7 C
He dressed his wounds and he carried to the nearest inn
(Chorus)
C
Well he reached down, he reached down
F C
He got right there on the ground
G7
He reached down, he reached down
C
And he touched the pain
C
He paid the keeper the amount that was due
F C
If you need more he said I�m good for that too
G7
He reached down, he reached down
C
And he touched the pain
(Verse 2)
And then the Scribes in the Pharisee
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
Sing Chorus >
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
Guitar Solo >
(Verse 3)
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
(Chorus � Modified)
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
