Lines drawn

John 8:4-8 

⁴ “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. ⁵ The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”

⁶ They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. ⁷ They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!”⁸ Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust.

Lines

A simple line was drawn in the sand … appeared so lonely

The grains pushed aside … felt the Hand of God

The time came and went … as a few names only

The Lord did write … and the crowd never forgot

A woman caught in sin … was brought before the Master

Did she fall alone … in what took two to do?

It really would have been … very much faster

if I had come along … with all the things I do

My name was drawn in the sand … a burden to the ground

The Lord looking down … as He spelled my name

The stones in my hands … now weighed a thousand pounds

Where is now is my crown … my life can't ever be the same?
