There is woman living out a life of sin
her life is one of shame
she says
oh that I could just let love in
then one day she's found
on another woman's bed
found on a man
no less guilty than her
but it is not him who is taken away
as she's pulled by her hair through the street
then by hypocritical priests
she's thrown down at the Judge's feet
she lay on her knees
weeping into her hand
knowing the end that's to come
and the crowd picks up stones just waiting
for the Judge's command
but silence is the only reply
and He starts writing in the sand
oh the priests felt fear as silence fell
and they looked with horror in their eyes
how could the Judge now know our sins
to write them in the sand
well the woman still wept on the ground
knowing hell was where she would be found
then she heard a new voice speak
like the voice of love in her ear
a voice she did not deserve to hear
He said, "ye that has not sinned
go on and cast the first stone."
and the only One
fit to throw stones
watched as the crowd walked away
again bent down and kept writing
as the priests ran with fear in their hearts
well the woman dare not look up at Him
for she could not believe what transpired
He said
is there any to condemn you?
she said
oh no not one
with love in His eyes
and grace in His Word
He said
neither do I condemn you
go and sin no more
and that day a woman was sealed for heaven
I long to meet her there
for I know that feeling too
when you look into the mirror
and see the stains on you
but Jesus is with you there
so take His yoke upon you
and cleanse away the sin
and Jesus will reign in your heart
and you'll never need sorrow again
