The Stones lyrics

The Stones

Words and music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan

We don`t really know much about her
We don`t really know her name
But the way she was treated
Was a shame
She heard the angry voices
There was nothing
That she could say
It wouldn`t have mattered anyway

All she saw were the stones
All she saw were the stones
She felt so helpless
So all alone
How she longed
For the face of a friend
But oh, all she saw were the stones

They pulled her from her lover`s arms
Out into the street
They drug her to the synagogue
And threw her at Christ`s feet
This woman is an adulteress
And our law is very clear
The Master saw her looking down
Her eyes were filled with tears

`Cause all she saw were the stones
All she saw were the stones
She felt so helpless
So all alone
How she longed
For the face of a friend
But oh, all she saw were the stones

Jesus looked up from the crowd
And then He said to them
You be the first to cast a stone
If you have never sinned
One by one they walked away
They left the stones behind
I wish I could have seen her face
When she opened up her eyes

`Cause all she saw were the stones
All she saw were the stones
Jesus said, I forgive you
Go and sin no more
She knew she`d never be the same
Oh no, all she saw were the stones

All she saw were the stones
Jesus said, I forgive you
Go and sin no more
She knew she`d never be the same
Oh no, all she saw were the stones
