That Day

It was sunny day

Just like every other

But the clouds reached far over me

Cause I tried, you see

Just like every other

To try to make a dollar

But my skills were not of a variety

There was this man

I’m just a woman

He paid well

Better than most others

And today he paid me double

But the venture was unlike any other

I ended up in a room with another woman’s man

Just when I thought we were alone

I was dragged from his home

Humiliated , all alone

It wasn’t FAIR YOU SEE!

This had never happened before

He tricked me with his lure

I was tricked by a servant of the Lord

IT WASN”T FAIR YOU SEE!

To be thrown down at the temple’s ground

A crowd gathered around

My clothes were falling down

As stones were being picked up

M y life…was over

And there, a man, calm and collected

Not even phased

Gentle like a lamb…

WHAT SHOULD WE DO TO THIS ADULTEROUS WOMAN

And the man, a teacher of some sort, looked at me

With compassion in his eyes

He slowly reached down

He slowly wrote in the sand

Letter after letter he wrote upon the sand

LET YE WHO HAS NOT SINNED CAST THE FIRST STONE

Who is this man, that cares enough for me?

Who is this man, who looked past the situation

Past the sin, past the mistakes, past the lies

Into my heart

This man who looked like he would die for me

Even though he’d never met me

I looked into his kind eyes

And didn’t notice the crowd die away

I would live to see another day

There was no one there to condemn me
