came a -runnin' to the city
To talk about the man she saw
She took her picture and went to the well
And water she intended to draw
The stranger she met there,
she didn't know where he came from,
but he told her every sinful
She said, the man at the well,
Her friends in town asked her,
She said, no, I never saw him before.
They asked her, did you get his name?
She said, he didn't tell me
When he spoke, my soul caught on fire
and I remember this day to the day I die.
He's standing off an angry mob
Defending a woman that had been caught
in the very act of adultery
For pity and mercy she sought
When he raised up from the ground
all her accusers were gone
She said he didn't tell me
I felt the power from his arms
And I don't plan again to do no wrong
I'm just glad he stopped by
And saved my life and gone
I'm talkin' about that same man
When I turned away from sin
He opened up his arms and let me in
I'm just glad he stopped by
