He Reached 
Downby Iris 
Dement(Verse 1)
A certain man one day did go down to 
JerichoFallin’ 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(Chorus)
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(Verse 2)
And then the 
Scribes in the 
PhariceseBrought 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 seeAnd 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
