To forgive you and me

‘He that without sin among you,

Let him cast the first stone’ on her.

She was accused of adultery;

Those who brought her wanted justice.

‘Such women shall be stoned to death.’

Laws of Mosses profess like this.

The woman was surprised by Christ;

The crowd dispersed without a word.

‘Father, forgive them.’  Said Jesus,

‘For they know not what they do.’,

At every fall of hammer

On the nail of Crucifixion.

Attack sin, not sinners, said He.

Forgive sin; sin no more, said He

Every saint has a past;

Every sinner has a future.

Christ wants to forgive you and me;

He wants you and me to forgive.
