Patty Griffin - The Strange Man lyrics
rate me<br>
A Samarian woman<br>
Came running to the city<br>
To talk about the man she saw<br>
She took her pitcher<br>
Went to the well<br>
Water she intended to draw<br>
The stranger she met there<br>
She didn't know where he came from<br>
But when he told her<br>
Every sinful thing she had done<br>
The man at the well<br>
Blessed my soul and go on<br>
<br>
Her friends asked her<br>
"Do you know that man?"<br>
She said "No, I never saw him before"<br>
They asked her "Did you get his name?"<br>
She said "He didn't tell me and I don't know<br>
When he spoke, my soul caught on fire<br>
And I'll remember that day 'til the day that I die<br>
He stopped by<br>
Blessed my soul and go on<br>
<br>
The stranger was next seen in our city<br>
He was standing off an angry mob<br>
Defending a women who'd been caught<br>
In the very act of adultery<br>
For pity and mercy she sought<br>
He said "Ye who is without sin cast the first stone"<br>
And when he raised her from the ground<br>
All her accusers were gone<br>
He gave her a smile, waved farewell and moved on<br>
<br>
The crowd asked her<br>
"Do you know the man?"<br>
She said "No, I never saw him before"<br>
They asked her "Did you get his name?"<br>
"He didn't tell me and I don't know<br>
But when he touched me I felt the power from the arms<br>
And I ain't gonna do no wrong<br>
He stopped by<br>
Saved my life and moved on<br>
<br>
I met that same man<br>
I met that same man<br>
When I turned my eyes away from fear<br>
He opened up his arms and he took me near<br>
Oh I found the power<br>
My soul caught on fire<br>
He stopped by<br>
Blessed my soul<br>
He stopped by<br>
Blessed my soul<br>
He stopped by<br>
Saved my life<br>
And moved on <br>
<br>
