The Stones Lyrics

We don't really know much about her
We don't even know her name
But the way she was treated was a shame
She heard the angry voices
There was nothing that she could say
It wouldn't have mattered anyway

All she saw was stone (2x)
She felt so helpless, so all alone
How she longed for the face of a friend, but O!
All she saw was a stone


They pulled her from her lovers arms
Out into the street
They drug her to the sinner guard
And threw her at Christ's feet
"This woman is an adultress, and our law is very clear"
The master saw her, looking down
Her eyes were filled with tears

(Chorus)

Jesus looked up from the ground
And then He said to them:
"You be the first to cast a stone, if you have never sinned!"
One by one they walked away
They left the stones behind
I wish I could have seen her face
When she opened up her eyes!

All she saw was a stone (2x)
Jesus said, "I forgive you, go and sin no more."
She knew she'd never be the same, oh no
All she saw was a...
All she saw was a stone (2x)
Jesus said, "I forgive you, go and sin no more!"
She knew she'd never be the same, oh no
All she saw was a stone
