"But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, 'If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.'" ~ John 8:6-7
"The same finger
Of the strong hand
That had written ten commands
For now was simply scribbling in the sand...
Could that same finger come
And trace my soul's sacred sand
And make some unexpected space
Where I could understand
That my own condemnation pierced
And broke that gentle hand
That scratched the words I’ll never know
Written in the sand..."

I've never listened to Michael Card before. I'll have to soon :)
That's always been an odd favorite passage of mine, because it seemingly makes no sense. But it shows something about Jesus that's just very real...
