Surrounded with shouts the cruel accusations
Dragged to the court, no hope of salvation
All hope was lost for those who had caught me
Knew what i was, they knew all about me

I thought it seemed strange as we entered in
They stopped a young rabbi to ask his opinion
Caught in the act, their reason for hating
My body could feel the stones that were waiting

My judge, a man from galilee
In his eyes so gentle i could see
A father and a brother and a son

Just as i saw him, the hope i had lost became born again
I was not hopeless, though i'd been lost
Now, i felt i was found when he looked at me
With his forgiving eyes

The crowd gathered round, so angry and violent
But he stood beside me, peaceful and silent
Then with a word, with one question, he showed them
That they too were guilty and could not condemn

The next thing i knew, he asked me, "where are they?"
And i looked around the courtyard was empty
The stones scattered 'round, the warm morning sunlight
He'd made the darkness perfectly light

In this new light now i understood
He would not condemn me though he could
For he would be condemned someday for me

Just as i saw him, the hope i had lost became born again
I was not hopeless, though i'd been lost
Now, i felt i was found when he looked at me
With his forgiving eyes
Forgiving eyes
