[Intro]
C F D
[Verse 1]
Am
Amidst a mob of madmen
G
She stood frightened and alone
Am
As hate filled voices hissed at Him
G
That she should now be stoned
F
But in the air around Him
Em
Hung a vast and wordless love
F
Who knows what luminous lesson
C G
He was in the middle of
[Verse 2]
Am7
At first, He faced the fury
G
Of their self-righteous scorn
Am
But then He stooped and at once became
G
The calm eye of the storm
F
It was His wordless answer
Em
To their dark and cruel demand
F
A lifetime in a moment
C G
As He scribbled in the sand
[Chorus]
D C
It was silence, it was music
G
It was art, it was absurd
Em C
He stooped and shouted volumes
G D
Without saying a single word
Bm C
The same finger of the strong hand
G Asus4 A
That had written ten commands
Em D C G
For now was simply scribbling in the sand
[Verse 3]
Am
Within the space of space and time
G
He scribbled in the sand
Am
They came to hear and see as much
G
As they could understand
F
Now bound by cords of kindness
Em
They couldn't cast a single stone
F
And Jesus and the women found
G D
That they were all alone
[Chorus]
D C
It was silence, it was music
G
It was art, it was absurd
Em C
He stooped and shouted volumes
G D
Without saying a single word
Bm C
The same finger of the strong hand
G Asus4 A
That had written ten commands
Em D C G
For now was simply scribbling in the sand
[Instrumental]
G Bm C G
A Em C G
[Bridge]
Am
Could that same finger come
Em
And trace my soul's sacred sand?
Am
And make some unexpected space
Em
Where I could understand?
F Em
That my own condemnation pierced
Dm C
And broke that gentle hand
G C
That scratched the words I'll never know,
G D
Written in the sand
[Chorus]
D C
It was silence, it was music
G
It was art, it was absurd
Em C
He stooped and shouted volumes
G D
Without saying a single word
Bm C
The same finger of the strong hand
G Asus4 A
That had written ten commands
Em D C G
For now was simply scribbling in the sand
Bm C
The same finger of the strong hand
G Asus4 A
That had written ten commands
Em D C G
For now was simply scribbling in the sand
