Lyrics
The First Stone
Is the one I'll never cast. John 8.7
When it comes to blaming
My stone should be the last
That would be the pot
Calling the kettle black
Don't cast the first stone
You can never take it back
Lately on the t.v.
They're cussin' up a storm
Lying ' bout their neighbors
In every shape and form
This one can't be trusted
And that one's lying too
Just like in the gospel
That Jesus saw them do
No matter what the world says
Don't ever tag along
Judgement is for God alone
To say what's right or wrong
Forgive us our debts
As we forgive our debtors
Mind your own business
Cause you just ain't no better
The first stone
Should stay right on the ground
God is watching
You better put it down
Jesus is the rock
Compassion is the key
Love thy neighbor
The way the Lord loves thee
We don't always see the other's struggle
What kind of pain they're going through
And certainly we hope they look at us
The way that Jesus would do
No one ever solved their own problems
Looking down on someone elses' lot
Pray to the Lord to show them mercy
Live the lessons Jesus has taught
