at the feet of the Judge

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
