I wrote this song in the early 1990s and set it as an an anthem for choir and cello in 2015. The music, without the words, can be heard here: https://eschenlauer.com/music/moichalis/
They brought a woman before Jesus, shaming her to bring him down. As they tested him with questions, he stooped writing on the ground. "This woman is a sinner, guilty of adultery. Moses' law tells us to stone her. Tell us, what should her sentence be?" The woman stood there in the midst of them, shamed, rejected, and alone. "Let the sinless one among you be the first to cast a stone." As they looked into their consciences, their own sins came into view, And, beginning with the oldest, ashamed and humbled, they withdrew. "Woman where have your accusers gone? Is not one left who condemns?" Said the woman, choking back her tears, "Lord, I see not one of them." "You may go, but do not sin again. Be again a faithful wife. I do not condemn you either. Know God forgives and gives you life."
