Patty Griffin - The Strange Man lyrics

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
