The Adulterer and a Savior

Writing in the dust was His response
the way He handled their demands
caught red handed she was
judgment was not in their plan

Let the sinless cast the stone
stoning death the law demands
one by one they left
while He was writing in the sand

Where are your accusers
where have they all gone.
no one left to accuse her
sin has sent them on

Neither did He accuse her
go and sin no more
This is what He told her
opening a strange new door

Writing with His finger
words wrote in the dust
what profound mean
written in the dust

Richard.
