A terrible story I had

Lived for all that was bad

All gave up on me but one

He knelt there writing in the sand

Asked all who I stood before condemned

If their names would in the book of life be found

 

They had proposed to have me killed

To take my life for I had sinned

But they thought in their Hearts to use me

To test and tease the master just to see

If He would condemn or accept me

If He would reject or justify sin

 

Had I known I would stop weeping

For He who I was carried to Hence

Was the son of God sent from Heaven

To save the world and people like me

He would not condemn me He said

Nor would He send any away the same

 

Though I came to him in sin

I left His side forgiven

And though I should have died

His compassion gave me one more chance at life

No matter my sin He still saved me

When no one would He loved me still

 

An adulterous woman I stood

Caught and condemned by the law I knew

To be stoned to death was my fate

Until Jesus came upon my way

He asked them but a little question

“Let him without sin, cast the first stone”

 

One by one the people left

With hanging Heads and guilty Hearts

So don’t be quick to judge or say

Or point an accusing finger in anyone’s face

For all have sinned as the bible says

And the truth is only Jesus saves

 

So when you think you’re bad

Worthless with no hope at all

Think of my story in John chapter 8

And know that though your sins be great

You still have a place in Jesus Christ

If you would simply accept him into your life.
