The Strange Man Lyrics - Downtown Church - Patty Griffin

A Samarian woman 

Came running to the city 

To talk about the man she saw 

She took her pitcher 

Went to the well 

Water she intended to draw 

The stranger she met there 

She didn't know where he came from 

But when he told her 

Every sinful thing she had done 

The man at the well 

Blessed my soul and go on

Her friends asked her 

"Do you know that man?" 

She said "No, I never saw him before" 

They asked her "Did you get his name?" 

She said "He didn't tell me and I don't know 

When he spoke, my soul caught on fire 

And I'll remember that day 'til the day that I die 

He stopped by 

Blessed my soul and go on 

The stranger was next seen in our city 

He was standing off an angry mob 

Defending a women who'd been caught 

In the very act of adultery 

For pity and mercy she sought 

He said "Ye who is without sin cast the first stone" 

And when he raised her from the ground 

All her accusers were gone 

He gave her a smile, waved farewell and moved on 

The crowd asked her 

"Do you know the man?" 

She said "No, I never saw him before" 

They asked her "Did you get his name?" 

"He didn't tell me and I don't know 

But when he touched me I felt the power from the arms 

And I ain't gonna do no wrong 

He stopped by 

Saved my life and moved on 

I met that same man 

I met that same man 

When I turned my eyes away from fear 

He opened up his arms and he took me near 

Oh I found the power 

My soul caught on fire 

He stopped by 

Blessed my soul 

He stopped by 

Blessed my soul 

He stopped by 

Saved my life 

And moved on
