Lyrics
Written by Carl Hicks Jr. / SESAC [Chorus – Full Choir, Slow and Soulful] He wrote in the dust He wrote in the dust While the crowd kept accusing He wrote in the dust They brought her there trembling With nowhere left to run But mercy stood between her And every lifted stone He wrote in the dust He wrote in the dust Judgment filled the circle But He wrote in the dust [Bridge – Warm Stacked Harmonies] He that is without sin Let him cast the first stone He that is without sin Let him cast the first stone One by one They walked away One by one Their hands came down The oldest left first Till no accuser remained Where are they? Where are they? Hath no man Condemned thee? [Chorus – Rising Strings and Restrained Brass Hits] He wrote in the dust He wrote in the dust The stones fell silent While He wrote in the dust She waited for judgment But mercy called her near Jesus raised His eyes And spoke the words she needed to hear He wrote in the dust He wrote in the dust The crowd came for her ending But grace rewrote the story [Bridge – Dynamic Choir Changes] Neither do I Condemn thee Neither do I Condemn thee Go And sin no more Go And live restored Shame brought her forward Grace sent her free The law exposed her failure But mercy changed her destiny No stone No sentence No crowd Could cancel grace [Repetitive Run – Slow-Burning Choir Pocket] Drop the stone Drop the stone Let the stone Fall from your hand Drop the stone Drop the stone Grace has taken Her defense One walked out Then another One walked out Then another Till Jesus stood Alone beside her No accuser No accuser No accuser Standing there No accuser No accuser Only mercy Met her there Neither do I Condemn thee Neither do I Condemn thee Go now Go now And sin no more [Choir Run – Powerful Layered Harmonies] She came surrounded She left forgiven She came condemned She left with a future He saw the failure He still saw the woman He knew the whole truth And still offered mercy Grace did not excuse it Grace gave her power To leave the old road And walk a new path He wrote in the dust He spoke to her soul The hands that held stones Had to let them go [Outro – Full Orchestra, Controlled Choir] The temple grew quiet The stones touched the ground The voices accusing her Were nowhere around Jesus stood near her And gave her a new road "Neither do I condemn thee Go, and sin no more" He wrote in the dust He wrote in the dust [Final Choir Hit] Neither do I condemn thee!
