[length: 04:25]
[00:09.05]Amidst a mob of madmen
[00:12.33]She stood frightened and alone
[00:16.38]As hate filled voices hissed at Him
[00:20.27]That she should now be stoned
[00:24.15]But in the air around Him
[00:27.76]Hung a vast and wordless love
[00:31.76]Who knows what luminous lesson
[00:35.25]He was in the middle of
[00:39.46]At first, He faced the fury
[00:43.02]Of their self-righteous scorn
[00:47.09]But then He stooped and at once became
[00:50.73]The calm eye of the storm
[00:54.65]It was His wordless answer
[00:58.04]To their dark and cruel demand
[01:02.18]A lifetime in a moment
[01:05.73]As He scribbled in the sand
[01:11.03]It was silence, it was music
[01:15.24]It was art, it was absurd
[01:19.20]He stooped and shouted volumes
[01:22.28]Without saying a single word
[01:26.57]The same finger of the strong hand
[01:30.52]That had written ten commands
[01:36.43]For now was simply scribbling in the sand
[01:47.82]Within the space of space and time
[01:51.61]He scribbled in the sand
[01:55.59]They came to hear and see as much
[01:59.31]As they could understand
[02:02.83]Now bound by cords of kindness
[02:06.47]They couldn’t cast a single stone
[02:10.65]And Jesus and the women found
[02:14.42]That they were all alone
[02:19.72]It was silence, it was music
[02:23.88]It was art, it was absurd
[02:27.70]He stooped and shouted volumes
[02:30.90]Without saying a single word
[02:35.03]The same finger of the strong hand
[02:38.96]That had written ten commands
[02:44.86]For now was simply scribbling in the sand
[02:52.29]Could that same finger come
[02:55.42]And trace my soul’s sacred sand?
[03:00.08]And make some unexpected space
[03:03.98]Where I could understand?
[03:06.96]That my own condemnation pierced
[03:10.83]And broke that gentle hand
[03:15.33]That scratched the words I’ll never know, written in the sand
[03:24.44]It was silence, it was music
[03:28.57]It was art, it was absurd
[03:32.35]He stooped and shouted volumes
[03:35.69]Without saying a single word
[03:39.78]The same finger of the strong hand
[03:43.63]That had written ten commands
[03:49.56]For now was simply scribbling in the sand
[03:56.80]The same finger of the strong hand
[04:00.87]That had written ten commands
[04:06.78]For now was simply scribbling in the sand
