John 8 opens with Jesus forgiving a woman caught in adultery and closes with “Before Abraham came into existence, I AM” - the claim that triggered an immediate stoning attempt.

Full sung version coming soon.

Lyrics

He who is without sin amongst you let him throw the first stone at her

I am the light of the world He who follows me will not walk in the darkness But will have the light of life The Pharisees said to him, You testify about yourself Your testimony is not valid

Jesus answered them, Even if I testify about myself My testimony is true for I know where I came from And where I am going But you don’t know where I came from or where I am going

You are from beneath I am from above You are of this world I am not of this world Unless you believe that I am he You will die in your sins

Neither do I condemn you Go your way and sin no more If the Son makes you free You will be free indeed

I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you However he who sent me is true And the things which I heard from him I say to the world

When you have lifted up the Son of Man Then you will know that I am he And I do nothing of myself But as my Father taught me I say these things

He who sent me is with me The Father hasn’t left me alone For I always do the things that are pleasing to him Most certainly I tell you before Abraham came into existence I AM

The truth will make you free
