They threw her down at Jesus' feet, Accused her of adultery.
Moses says to stone her dead, We want her sentenced red.
They tried to trap him in the law, Deny the love that came from God.
Moses says to stone her dead, But mercy says forgive.
Judged by the letter of the law she was condemned, Measured by a standard which is higher than man.
Jesus knelt there in the dust, Wrote the rules of selfless love.
I want the stoning to begin, By one who's never sinned.
Jesus knelt there in the sun, Accusers left her one by one.
He said, Woman, where'd they go? She said, Lord, I don't know.
Judged by the letter of the law they were condemned, Measured by a standard which is higher than man.
This ain't a war of flesh and blood, Armed with mercy, perfect love.
We don't throw those judgment stones, We love and love alone.
Judged by the letter of the law they were condemned, Measured by a standard which is higher than man.
