SurEmrounded with shouts the cruel accusDations
DrCM7agged to the court no hope of salDvation
EmAll hope was lost for those who had caDught me
CM7Knew what I was, They knew all aDbout me
I thEmought it seemed strange as we entered in
They sCM7topped a young rabbi to ask His opinion
EmCaught in the act, their reason for hating
My bCM7ody could feel the stones that were waiting
My jAmudge a man from Galilee
In His eFyes so gentle I could see
A fDmather and a brother and a sBon
JEust as I saw Him, the hope I had lost became bAorn again
I wBas not hopeless
ThEough I'd been lost
Now, I G#mfelt I was found when He loAoked at me
With BHis forgiving eEmyes
The Emcrowd gathered round, so angry and vDiolent
But CM7He stood beside me, peaceful and Dsilent
TEmhen with a word, with one question, He shDowed them
That tCM7hey too were guilty and could not condDemn
The neEmxt thing I knew, He asked me, "Where Dare they?"
And CM7I looked around the courtyard was eDmpty
The sEmtones scattered 'round, the warm morning sDunlight
HCM7e'd made the darkness perfectly liDght
In this Amnew light now I understood
He would Fnot condemn me though He could
For DmHe would be condemned someday for Bme

CM7

G#m

Em D

Surrounded with shouts the cruel accusations

CM7 D

Dragged to the court no hope of salvation

Em D

All hope was lost for those who had caught me

CM7 D

Knew what I was, They knew all about me

I thought it seemed strange as we entered in

CM7

They stopped a young rabbi to ask His opinion

Caught in the act, their reason for hating

CM7

My body could feel the stones that were waiting

My judge a man from Galilee

In His eyes so gentle I could see

Dm B

A father and a brother and a son

E A

Just as I saw Him, the hope I had lost became born again

I was not hopeless

Though I'd been lost

G#m A

Now, I felt I was found when He looked at me

B Em

With His forgiving eyes

Em D

The crowd gathered round, so angry and violent

CM7 D

But He stood beside me, peaceful and silent

Em D

Then with a word, with one question, He showed them

CM7 D

That they too were guilty and could not condemn

Em D

The next thing I knew, He asked me, "Where are they?"

CM7 D

And I looked around the courtyard was empty

Em D

The stones scattered 'round, the warm morning sunlight

CM7 D

He'd made the darkness perfectly light

In this new light now I understood

He would not condemn me though He could

Dm B

For He would be condemned someday for me

E A

Just as I saw Him, the hope I had lost became born again

I was not hopeless

Though I'd been lost

G#m A

Now, I felt I was found when He looked at me

B E G#m A B E G#m A B

With His forgiving eyes
