Chris August's song 'Drop Your Stone' is a Christian song that challenges listeners to refrain from judging others and instead extend mercy, remembering the grace they have received. The lyrics reference the biblical story of the woman caught in adultery, where Jesus told those without sin to cast the first stone. The song emphasizes that everyone has fallen short and that God's love and the cross are sufficient for all. It calls for humility, self-reflection, and letting go of condemnation toward others.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

See the man with the bruises on his arm

He's had a hard life, can't seem to keep a job

He reaches out his arm, looking for another dollar bill

See the woman, she's weeping on the ground

She has four kids, no fathers to be found

Living on welfare, probably always will

Why are we so quick to judge?

Think of all the mercy that's been given to us


If we're pointing the finger

Three are pointing back at us, back at us

Do you not remember

Where we were before His love, before his Love?

Whatever you were gonna throw

Now's the time to let it go, drop your stone


See the lovers with their love out on parade

Proclaiming freedom while they're living as a slave

Everybody's born with their own depravity

See their eyes lost and lonely looking back

Well, I remember when I used to look like that

Until the day that Your grace came and rescued me


If we're pointing the finger

Three are pointing back at us, back at us

Do you not remember

Where we were before His love, before his Love?

Whatever you were gonna throw

Now's the time to let it go, and drop your stone


Why are we so quick to judge?

Just think about the mercy that's been given to us

Yes, God has demonstrated His great love

While we were yet sinners, the cross was big enough

The cross is enough


And if we're pointing the finger

Three are pointing back at us, right back at us

Oh God, I remember

Where I was before Your love, before Your Love

So whatever you were gonna throw

Now's the time to let it go, and drop your stone

Just drop your stone

Before you throw

Just drop your stone
