When the accusers call you by your sin,
The son of God calls you by name.
When the accusers drag you into shame,
The son of God lifts your face,
When the accusers want nothing more than to see you fail,
The son of God will do anything to see you restored.
When the accusers start listing your worst faults,
The son of God is calling you to remember your design.
When the accusers start picking up the stones,
The son of God puts down his finger.
I don't know what He wrote,
But I do know this,
Whenever God puts His hands in dirt,
Something beautiful happens.
Whether it be the cosmic clay from which He first fashioned us, and breathed His life into our lungs,
Or grabbing a handful of mud and spit, so a blind man can see the glory of God.
He isn't afraid of our mess.
He doesn't shy from our dirt.
In fact,
He looks for opportunities to put His hands in it.
As His hands become dirty,
Our hearts become clean.
As His clothes become stained,
Our robes are washed white.
As His feet become filthy,
He would rather wash ours.
And as we are deserving of punishment,
He steps in.
When we finally look up and see His face,
He asks,
"Where are your accusers now?"
As loud as the voice of the accuser is,
His voice still overwhelms them all..
