to drop our stones


none of us worthy
none of us righteous
all cloaked in sin
a sentence of death

Christ holds a mirror
a challenge to the people
to drop our stones
before our neighbor

none of us worthy
none of us righteous
unable to judge
to sentence another

Christ alone righteous
and he paid our price
taking our punishment
to save us from death
