Ron Block Higher Than Man
They threw her down at Jesus' feet
Accused her of adultery
"Moses says to stone her dead,
We want her sentence read."
They tried to trap Him in the Law
Deny the love that came from God
Moses says to stone her dead,
But mercy says forgive
Judged by the letter of the Law she was condemned
Measured by a standard which is higher than man
Jesus knelt there in the dust
Wrote the rules of selfless love
"I want the stoning to begin
By one who's never sinned."
Jesus knelt there in the sun
Accusers left her one by one
He said "Woman, where'd they go?"
She said, "Lord, I don't know."
Judged by the letter of the Law they were condemned
Measured by a standard which is higher than man
This ain't a war of flesh and blood
Armed with mercy, perfect love
We don't throw those judgment stones
We love and love alone
Judged by the letter of the Law they were condemned
Measured by a standard which is higher than man
