Like a Broken Vessel
She's been thrown down on the ground, her secrets shown
To the crowd that has gathered
They've held stones above their heads, eager to throw
They are proud of her capture
And she lies, like a broken vessel
And they all spit lies, saying "God condemns her
He knows what she's done"
Crouching in the dust as her accusers rage
Tracing words with His fingers
They demand He judge and tell what God would say
Would He kill her or leave her?
And He stands by a broken vessel
"Let a sinless man at first condemn her
God knows what you've done."
One by one, her raging accusers leave
Till they are alone
He says, "For your downfalls, I have atoned
Leave your sins, and take your throne."
And she stands, like a mended vessel
Now I understand that God will bless her
He knows what she's done
To the crowd that has gathered
They've held stones above their heads, eager to throw
They are proud of her capture
And she lies, like a broken vessel
And they all spit lies, saying "God condemns her
He knows what she's done"
Crouching in the dust as her accusers rage
Tracing words with His fingers
They demand He judge and tell what God would say
Would He kill her or leave her?
And He stands by a broken vessel
"Let a sinless man at first condemn her
God knows what you've done."
One by one, her raging accusers leave
Till they are alone
He says, "For your downfalls, I have atoned
Leave your sins, and take your throne."
And she stands, like a mended vessel
Now I understand that God will bless her
He knows what she's done
