Let The Words Dance
Lyrics
Down in the dust you write
While the accusations fly
Down in the dust you write
Down in the dust you write
While the accusations fly
Down in the dust you write
Here we are together
The maker and the maid
Standing in this little space in time
You and I together
The sinner and the slain
The Holy one unflinching by my side
Let the words dance
Let the words dance and come alive
Let the words dance x 2
Down in the dust you write
While the accusations fly
Down in the dust you write x 1
All that I have ever done
And all the pain I’ve caused
Seems naked here for all to see
Who cannot see their own
Fear and condemnation circle us like wolves
My life is in your hands and in your words
the heat and dust intensify intensify and breed
I dare not look at you
Or take you in
Down in the dust you write
While the accusations fly
Down in the dust you write x 1
At last you stand and straighten
Fire in your eyes
You drop a question into all the noise
Is there one among you
truly without sin
Let him be the first to cast a stone
Let the words dance …x 2
Slowly they all slip away until we are alone
I tremble as I look into your eyes
Has any one condemned you? no sir no not one
Then nor do I go and sin no more!
Let the words dance…x 4
I pronounce you virgin and untouched and without blame
