Higher Than Man Lyrics

They threw her down at Jesus' feet

Accused her of adultery

"Moses says to stone her dead,

We want her sentence read."



They tried to trap Him in the Law

Deny the love that came from God

Moses says to stone her dead,

But mercy says forgive



Judged by the letter of the Law she was condemned

Measured by a standard which is higher than man



Jesus knelt there in the dust

Wrote the rules of selfless love

"I want the stoning to begin

By one who's never sinned."



Jesus knelt there in the sun

Accusers left her one by one

He said "Woman, where'd they go?"

She said, "Lord, I don't know."



Judged by the letter of the Law they were condemned

Measured by a standard which is higher than man



This ain't a war of flesh and blood

Armed with mercy, perfect love

We don't throw those judgment stones

We love and love alone



Judged by the letter of the Law they were condemned

Measured by a standard which is higher than man
