Lyrics
Verse 1
Brother, who gave you the stone?
Who told you heaven made you judge on your own?
You speak like you know what the Father would say
While mercy is standing right there in your way
You point at the speck in somebody's eye
With a beam in your own that you're trying to hide
Brother, who gave you the stone?
Verse 2
You know every verse that can cut like a blade when you need it
You call it conviction, but somehow compassion gets deleted
You talk about sinners like grace never covered your name
Like Calvary somehow was only for people who came without stain
You say God would never, like God handed you all of His answers
You draw little borders around who deserves second chances
But Peter denied Him and still Jesus called him His own
So maybe be careful before you start throwing that stone
Chorus
You know His word, but do you know mercy?
You know what they did, but do you know their story?
Before you condemn, before you decide
Ask God what is hiding inside
Brother, who gave you the stone?
Who told you heaven made you judge on your own?
You speak like you know what the Father would say
While mercy is standing right there in your way
You point at the speck in somebody's eye
With a beam in your own that you're trying to hide
Sister, who gave you the stone?
Verse 3
Calling them unholy, too broken for Jesus to save now
As if there are stains that His blood cannot somehow wash out
You see what they are, but God sees what they still might become
You freeze them in chapters while He's still writing what's to come
Remember the woman they dragged through the dust for her sin
Everybody righteous until Jesus challenged them
One by one, every hand had to loosen its hold
Funny how quiet it gets when the sinless heart asks for the stone
Chorus
You know His word, but do you know mercy?
You know what they did, but do you know their story?
Before you condemn, before you decide
Ask God what is hiding inside
Sister, who gave you the stone?
Brother, put down the finger
Sister, put down the stone
Look in the mirror, start with your own
Brother, remember, grace found you guilty and still carried you in
Still carried you in
Jesus ate dinner with those we avoid
Touch the rejected and listen to their voice
So if what we're preaching has no mercy or grace
Maybe we're speaking with pride in His place
I've got my weakness, you've got yours too
I need forgiveness just like you do
Before we decide who heaven will choose
Remember the cross was for sinners like you
Outro
You know His word, but carry His mercy
Speak what is true, but love them completely
Before you condemn, before you decide
Ask God what is hiding inside
Sister, put down the stone
None of us earned our way back home
Don't speak like you know every thought in His mind
When Jesus kept choosing the ones left behind
Take out the beam before searching for mine
We all need the blood, we all need the vine
Brother, sister
Put down the stone
Put down the stone
Put down the stone
There's only one judge and you're not on His throne
Brother, sister, remember your own
Mercy found you too
So put down the stone
