Why am I the only one
Being led amongst the stones
It seems he's just as guilty as me
It takes two to commit adultery
How was I to know he's wed
And why was he so willing a man
To seek out something strange
When he's got already a wife and kids
What's that commotion up ahead
A rabbi and his entourage
All praising him with loud Hosannas
And laying palm before his colt
The elder approaches to be justified
That what they're doing to me is right
To be punished according to Moses' law
And that I should be stoned to death
The rabbi says the law is right
And she should be punished for her sin
But let those gathered here without sin
Be the first to judge by stone
I could hear the stones drop to the ground
No one stayed to cast their vote
Nothing will be hurled today
No one left to judge me now
The rabbi says no one's left to judge
Nor do I for what you did
But go and change your life today
And go your way and sin no more
That's all he said and walks away
Doesn't want a hug or kiss
Doesn't want to touch or feel
Just to go and change my way of life
I think I'll just follow this crowd
And see what kind of scam he pulls
Though I've heard he's done some good
Probably just some slight of hand
Through the gate inside the walls
The throng can hardly make its way
Amid the shops and stalls and others too
That heard and came to see what's ado
Dozens of people line the way
Some to see if it be true
That this rabbi Nazarene
Has shown the power to heal on touch
Now ever more the clamor grows
Every turn seems bigger crowd
Now even ever more of ailing members
Toted by family, too lame to walk
People bringing across the roofs
To lower loved ones into courtyards
With pleas that they be healed by touch
To go and be a burden on them no more
What's this here? A Roman guard?
Surely he's not on official call
Says his daughter's close to death
And I know that there's no way you'd come
But being accustomed to giving and okaying orders
All I wish from you is your word
Knowing your power that's more than enough
To come answer to my plea
He said such a man so strong in faith
Deserves the reward of his command
Go your way and fear no more
Rejoice with family your answered prayer
The crowd is slow to let him through
And by the time he finally gets in the clear
Meets his servant half way into stride
Saying his daughter just rose and calling for him
He hesitates a second to look behind
Knowing the rabbi was true to word
And provided the answer to his plea
Just the way he prayed it would
Now what's happening up ahead
Looks like someone's fallen in the street
Arises to be face to face
With the rabbi and the crowd
He said someone took from him
With every one so close at hand
His band wonders how he can tell
But casts his gaze on this ailing Ms
Said why should I hand out to cur
What was meant for the chosen few
She reminded him of who gets the crumbs
And somehow brought a broken grin
Told her that she be strong in faith
And go away, you got your crumb
Already with that single touch
And before the crowd departs can see her healing
