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
