Author: Daniel Charles Damon Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #9 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: John 8:1-11 Lyrics: 1 A woman stood accused.
The sinner had been found.
But Jesus, seeming not to hear,
wrote something on the ground.
2 He said, "To throw a stone
you must be free from sin."
then Jesus, bending to the ground,
began to write again.
3 Convicted in their hearts,
their own lives now laid bare,
the old and then the young went out.
The woman waited there.
4 And Jesus asked of her,
"What happened to the crowd?
Did no one stay to cast a stone?"
"No one," she said aloud.
5 "Then I do not condemn
the life you lived before.
Your judges all have gone away,
so go and sin no more. Topics: Forgiveness; Mercy; Women Defined by Faith Languages: English Tune Title: LOST SPRINGS
