This is the official music video for the song I wrote with Isaac Mitchell called "Neither Do I". This song has been therapeutic for me to write in many ways. It is based off of the passage in John 8 where Christ encounters an adulterous women, brought before a crowd of people to be stoned. I relate to the adulterous woman, I’ve felt her shame and wanted to hide. Constant feelings of not measuring up, feeling naked and ashamed before the Lord. But when the woman comes face to face with Christ- the only one truly worthy to stone her for her sins- He shows her unmeasurable mercy. He tells the crowd, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her”…. And of course, no one could. And Jesus, looks deep into her tear filled eyes and relinquishes all of her fear saying, “Neither do I condemn you”. Such powerful words coming from the only one with the authority to truly do so… and yet he doesn’t. So who is worthy to cast the first stone at you my friend? Is ANYONE other than Christ? And we see through Christ's perfect love and pursuit of us on the cross that He was willing to absorb ALL of the Father's wrath for our sin... leaving us completely free to leave our sin and come rest. Big thank you to Haddie who played cello, Luke who played guitar, Josh who sang with me, Isaac who played acoustic and electric, and Ryan who mixed and mastered the music! I could not have done it without them.

Lyrics:
Neither do I
condemn you
Neither do I
condemn you
Look at my hands,
See how I hung for you
Not even death can stop my
Perfect Love in pursuit of you
Oh his wrath I absorbed for you
Cause’ my bride I adore you!
I am the faithful one
Worthy of all your praise
And in me the battles won
There’s no match against my name
The Spirit is making a home
in your body reserved for me
So leave your sin and come rest
Leave your sin and come rest
Neither will I
Condemn you
Neither will I
Forsake you
Know who I am
And that my blood covers you
Not even death can stop my
Perfect love in pursuing you
Oh his wrath I absorbed for you
Now the curtain is torn in two
It is torn in two
Who is worthy to cast the first stone?
Who is worthy to say that you’re too far gone?
I AM worthy, and I say it’s so
That I let it go
Who is worthy to cast the first stone?
Who is worthy to say that you’re too far gone?
I AM worthy, to pardon your soul
And l say it's so
