Isaiah 43: 16-21; Ps 126: 1-6; Phil 3: 8-14; John 8: 1-11

Jesus
knower of our hearts
you part the way of sin
in our lives
opened
we see our own sins
and are saved
from each other’s crushing stones
our need exposed
we are no longer left
to our past and
old merciless ways
we see
no justice in the law
but only power
flowing
from your resurrection
something new
springing forth
from dry deserts
renewed love
rises within us
what is sown in tears
we reap with laughter
grasped by your love
we release all
and run
to the God
who calls us

Have you dropped the stones from your hand?
Have you forfeited all for the love of God?
