Casting Stones Lyrics

Intro Music

Trembling in his presence, with fears she’d never known

In the midst of her accusers who were there to cast a stone

Judgement without mercy built itself righteous heart

Then Jesus said he without sin could be the first to stone

They all knew they were guilty and they slowly walked away

Though the story took place long ago it still applies today

And even though we don’t throw rocks we’re still wounding hearts

By casting stones made up of bitter words and cruel remarks

(Chorus)

Casting stones, hurts so deep

Hearts will break with every angry word you speak

You can’t restore the damage once careless words are thrown

You can only break a heart by casting stones

Insert bridge here

Tongues of fire spread quickly when you’ve sown a bitter seed

And sorry’s just an empty word when you cause a heart to bleed

You may cause someone to stumble when there’s no compassion shown

You can leave them bruised and scarred and filled with hurt by casting stones.

Chorus

You can’t restore the damage once careless words are thrown

You can only break a heart by casting stones

You can only break a heart by casting stones
