By The story of the woman caught in adultery… John 8:1-11
My heart was racing faster than my feet
As I gathered my clothes and fled down the street
But soon enough they caught me and soon enough they brought me before the leaders to be slain
But why was I alone in this shame…
He said he loved me but he forsook me. When he let me take my blame and his
And I was to be killed and he was left to live.
He didn’t love me.
They threw me down there in the sand
They each picked up stones in their hands
I felt the shame, I tasted fear
I choked on anger, swallowed tears
Death was coming, hope disappearing, I felt my soul within me yearning for the end…
They all condemned me, they all despised me. They each had equal sin of their own, but I was made to suffer all alone…
They condemned me…
As I knelt there on the ground, feeling hate in every sound
A shadow passed across me, another come to mock me I was sure…
But a gentle hand reached out to me alone, and said only the sinless could throw a stone.
Without another word they walked away
His mercy rescued me that day!!
Go and sin no more He told me then
His gentle words carry on without end…
He didn’t condemn me, He just loved me.
He swept away my shame and my fears
When he brushed away the sand and my tears
He didn’t condemn me.
He forgave me
This Man I did not know until that day
The Saviour of the world, the only Way
He didn’t condemn me.
He loved me!
