Wayword Girl

They took her to Jesus for her adulterous act
They hoped they could get him caught in their trap
Saying Moses in the law says stones should be hurled
Down on the head of this wayward girl
His answer would give them the power they sought
They'd say that he blasphemed even if he had not
If he forgave sins, just a man in this world
Only God could forgive such a wayward girl
Wayward girl
Wayward girl
So Jesus kneels down and he writes in the sand
But he don't say nothing, and no one understands
But when he finally speaks, He cuts them to the bone
Let he without sin, cast the first stone
Cast a stone
Cast a stone
She ran to Jesus and fell to the ground
She looked left and right, there was no one around
Not one accuser remained in her world
That's how Jesus showed compassion, to a wayward girl
Life is an enigma that takes us to task
She could never remember which goes first or last
Casting pearls before swine or swine before pearls
They were always the same for this wayward girl
