An Adulteress Faces the Light of the World



I'm caught in a lover's embrace,
My delight soon becomes my shame,
Taken out from comfort and warmth,
Naked in both flesh and spirit.

Men I expect to be kind,
Who instead trample my trust,
They shove me and scold me,
On a journey to I know not where.

Under my feet come temple stones,
About my face accusing eyes stare.
Words are uttered to a man of power,
Gripped by fear-my fate laid out.

But no not death, only writings in the sand,
A pardon received, a challenge comes too,
Hundreds of people are leaving the room,
'Til alone I stand, I'm seen by Him.

When questions are asked I mumble response,
His words when spoken, tell of love,
My joy unbridled, I've been set free
I'll sin no more as I go from here.

Grace poured out and lavished too,
My life I will now live anew,
Oh Jesus, sweet Saviour,
I'll try to follow You.
