Lyrics
NOT A STONE WAS THROWN
EARLY IN THE MORNING, JESUS CAME INTO THE TEMPLE
BEGAN TO TEACH EVERYONE, WHO HAD GATHERED ROUND
IN CAME THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES, WITH A WOMEN CAUGHT IN ADULTERY
AND SET HER IN THE MIDST OF ALL THE CROWD
THEY SAID TO JESUS THIS WOMAN, WAS CAUGHT IN THE VERY ACT
THE LAW OF MOSES TELLS US, SHE SHOULD BE STONED TO DEATH
IT WAS THEIR VERY NEXT STATEMENT, THAT SET THE DIVINE STAGE
HERE IS WHAT THEY ASKED HIM, BUT WHAT DO YOU SAY?
THIS THEY SAID TO TEST HIM, TO PROVE HE WASN’T OF GOD
WAITING FOR HIS ANSWER, TO EXPOSE HIM AS A FRAUD
BUT JESUS JUST IGNORED THEM, AS HE STOOPED DOWN TO THE GROUND
AND BEGAN TO WRITE WITH IS FINGER, NOT EVEN WHISPERING A SOUND
ONCE AGAIN THEY ASKED HIM, BUT WHAT DO YOU SAY?
HE ROSE UP FROM HIS WRITING, AND THIS IS WHAT HE HAD TO SAY
HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN, FIRST CAST A STONE AT HER
THEN HE STOOPED AGAIN DOWN TO THE GROUND, AND WROTE A LITTLE MORE
THEN THOSE WHO HEARD HIS SAYING, ONE BY ONE BEGAN TO DEPART
EACH ONE BEING CONVICTED IN THE DEPTHS OF THEIR OWN HEART
TILL JESUS AND THE WOMAN, WERE LEFT THERE ALL ALONE
HE SAID WHERE ARE THOSE WHO CONDEMNED YOU, SHE SAID, THEY ARE ALL GONE
THEY SAID SHE SHOULD BE STONED, BUT BEFORE JESUS AROSE
IT WAS THEIR OWN SINFUL HEARTS THAT WERE EXPOSED
WHEN THE TRUTH OF GOD WAS KNOWN, AND THE LOVE OF GOD WAS SHOWN
THEY ALL LEFT, AND NOT A STONE WAS THROWN
JESUS SAID TO HER, I DON’T CONDEMN YOU ANY MORE
YOU ARE FREE TO GO, AND THERE IS SOMETHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
YOU DON’T HAVE TO WALK IN DARKNESS, LIVING THE LIFE YOU LIVED BEFORE
NOW THAT YOU’VE BEEN FORGIVEN, DON’T COMMIT ADULTERY ANY MORE
THEY SAID SHE SHOULD BE STONED, BUT BEFORE JESUS AROSE
IT WAS THEIR OWN SINFUL HEARTS THAT WERE EXPOSED
WHEN THE TRUTH OF GOD WAS KNOWN, AND THE LOVE OF GOD WAS SHOWN
THEY ALL LEFT, AND NOT A STONE WAS THROWN
WHEN THE TRUTH OF GOD WAS KNOWN, AND THE LOVE OF GOD WAS SHOWN
THEY ALL LEFT, AND NOT A STONE WAS THROWN
