Lyrics

[Verse 1] Trembling in His presence With a fear she'd never known In the midst of her accusers Who were there to cast the stone Judgment without mercy Filled each self-righteous heart Then Jesus said, "He without sin should be the first to start." They all knew they were guilty And they slowly walked away Though the story took place long ago It still applies today Even though we don't throw rocks We're still wounding hearts By casting stones made up of Bitter words and cruel remarks [Chorus] Casting stones Cuts so deep Hearts will break with every angry word you speak You can't restore the damage Once careless words are thrown You can only break a heart by casting stones [Verse 2] Tongues of fire spread quickly When you've sown a bitter seed And "sorry" is just an empty word When you've caused the heart to bleed You may cause someone to stumble When there's no compassion shown You can leave them bruised and scarred And filled with hurt by casting stones [Chorus] Casting stones Cuts so deep Hearts will break with every angry word you speak You can't restore the damage Once careless words are thrown You can only break a heart by casting stones [Outro] You can't restore the damage Once careless words are thrown You can only break a heart by casting stones
