Nor Do I Condemn You Lyrics
I see your soul, I see your guilt
I've seen every circumstance
That had its hand in how you were built
You're emptied out, a hollow frame
All your hope has gone
Along with any love to claim
And in your heart you wish for death
I'm grieved you find only pain
And cruelty in every single breath
Rise again, up off the ground
All the stones lie around
With no accuser to be found
Your joy has come like the rising sun
I leave the 99 every time to find the one
Singing comes in the new day's warmth
When passing night unveils
Your fire-tried form
I've made my face to shine
My countenance, your guiding light
I am the way, the truth, the life
I've made my face to shine
My countenance, your guiding light
I am the way, the truth, the life
I leave the 99 every time to find the one, the one...
I've seen every circumstance
That had its hand in how you were built
You're emptied out, a hollow frame
All your hope has gone
Along with any love to claim
I'm grieved you find only pain
And cruelty in every single breath
Rise again, up off the ground
All the stones lie around
With no accuser to be found
I leave the 99 every time to find the one
Singing comes in the new day's warmth
When passing night unveils
Your fire-tried form
My countenance, your guiding light
I am the way, the truth, the life
I've made my face to shine
My countenance, your guiding light
I am the way, the truth, the life

Just those first three lines are very sobering: there's nothing we can do that God doesn't see, but He also understands us--our motivations, our struggles--more deeply than we ever could. God is always pursuing us; and when we go astray, He longs even more for us to come home.
This song, like many other Pas Neos songs, is a series of vignettes from the Bible on a subject. This one is a perfect example of redemption and forgiveness.
