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
