"Condemned" lyrics

[ADULTERESS:]
They pulled me out into the street
My shame there in the open
My lover left and left me
Helplessly naked and broken

Why must I be so careless
Why couldn't I say no
I took the luxury of his lust
Where I should've turned to go

That's where things went off the deep end
I knew what I was doing
I felt the guilt seepin' deeper
Into me as he knew me
Then he threw me away
Trapped flattered as he whispered stay

I'm trying, I'm trying
I'm trying to be ok
But let's be real, I'm going down anyway

I'm trying, I'm trying
I'm trying but I'm ashamed
God if You see me please look away

[JESUS:]
They pulled her out into the streets
Her shame there in the open
I'd never leave and leave her all alone
Hopeless and broken

People start to crowd now
And start looking down upon her
They say...

[LITTLE PHARISEE:]
What are You gonna do Jesus?

[BIG PHARISEE:]
The Law says that she's a goner

[JESUS:]
Well, I've got something to tell you people
Yes, I've got something to say
If God were here, the Law's Author
And also a Father, this would not be ok

Would you look at this girl, she's hurting
I think we all know she knows she's unworthy
But look at the Law, what does it say?
It says God desires mercy

[ADULTERESS:]
That's where things went off the deep end
I couldn't breathe
When condemnation reversed
They were shocked
You could hear His voice deepen

[JESUS:]
If you've never sinned
Throw a stone at her first

[ADULTERESS:]
Stones hit the ground all around me
The sound is astounding
I'm finding You found me
You crowned me with beauty and honor
You've made me a daughter
As if you knew me
And saw right through me too

[JESUS:]
Neither do I condemn you
You're free, you're free, you're free
Leave your sin and follow Me
Follow Me, follow Me, follow Me
Would you follow Me?

[ADULTERESS:]
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
