Let He Who Is Without Sin Cast the First Stone

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone
judge not that you be not judged
No man is without sin and yet violence rests on wire's deep
in vain for justice weep

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone
yet blind in Christian rage, do you, turn your back on suffering
we can not employ him he is not fit for our church
Judge not that you be not judged

Christ came down to the earth, God incarnate
to walk upon the land, a God of love, a man
Christ came down to earth, to teach us how to live
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

Muslims cast the stones of bullets lead
yet Christians also fight for broken bread
violence is wrong no matter what dream
Judge not that you be not judged

The two most important concepts in the Bible
Love thy God with all thy strengh
love thy neighbour as thy self
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

John 8.7

lots of errors here, you probably mean cast not caste ( a class in India), justice not Justice ( why the upper case ?), the Bible not bible, out church ? God is always written so, not god, unless you mean gods as a plural...so I understand what you want to say, but get the English right !!
