That Samarian woman
Came running to the city
To talk about the man she saw
She took her pitcher
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 when he told her
Every sinful thing she had done
She said the man at the well
Blessed my soul and gone.

Her friends in town asked her
"Did 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
'Cause when he spoke, my soul caught on fire
And I'll remember this day 'til the day I die
And he stopped by
And Blessed my soul and gone.

The stranger was next seen in the city
Standing off an angry mob
Defending a women that had 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"
When he raised her from the ground
All her accusers were gone
He gave her a smile, and waved farewell and was gone.

The crowd asked her
"Did you know that man?"
She said "No, I never saw him before"
They asked her "Don't you know his name?"
She said "He didn't tell me and I don't know
But when he touched 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 met that same man
Talkin about that same man
When I turned away from sin
He opened up his arms and let me in
I got that same power
My soul caught on fire
I'm just glad he stopped by
in Alabama
I'm glad he stopped by
One Tuesday evening
Glad he stopped by
And blessed my soul and gone.
