Grace Did Not Get Stoned

They found Grace
in some man's embrace.
Grabbed her by the waist
and slapped her face.
Dragged her in disgrace
right out of the place.
They had a perfect case
to throw in His face.
He was teaching of a Kingdom - a heavenly place,
when along comes this gang, with Grace by the waist.
"Here we have Grace,
with shame on her face.
We caught her in sin and utter disgrace.
You know the Law! There is no time to waste;
gather up stones and move with haste!"

"Is it for blood that you have a taste?
Then the perfect among you be the first to place
a stone in her face!
Right now, in this place!
But you must be sinless, with not even a trace."

And then it was the gang with shame on face.
They dropped each stone, and lost their taste.
They spun on their heels to depart from the place.
There was not one of them without some disgrace.
So he and Grace were alone in the place.
A scene as quiet as outer space.

"I know, dear one, you have not been chaste.
But I forgive your every disgrace.
Go then, and when you have a sinful taste,
remember this day and the look on My face.
And recall that your name is intentionally : Grace".
