that were waiting

My judge, a man from Galilee

In His eyes so gentle I could see

A father and a brother and a son

G 
He showed them
C 
That they too were guilty
and could not condemn

Verse 6
Em 
The next thing I knew, He asked me,
"Where are they?"
C 
And I looked around the courtyard
D 
was empty
Em 
The stones scattered 'round,
G 
the warm morning sunlight
Em 
B 
Em 
C

Verse 7
Am 
In this new light now I understood
F 
He would not condemn
me though He could
Dm 
For He  would be condemned
B 
someday for me
