When asked by a magazine to make a public statement about a friend’s sin I wrote a song about my own instead.

No Better
Words & Music by Shaun Groves
(C) 2010 Simplicity Street Music/ASCAPWhen you sling your stone
Aim it at her heart
Where every crime comes from
Where every stumble startsAnd save the next for me
Muster all your skill
‘Cause sin in secrecy
Is the hardest kind to killLay me down with the liars
The brawlers, thieves and backbiters
Lay me down with the others
‘Cause I’m no betterThere’s no justice here
Just as well you know
We’ve all got hell to pay
But grace pays all we oweLay me down with the liars
The brawlers, thieves and backbiters
Lay me down with the others
‘Cause I’m no betterLay me down with the takers
Politicians, cheats and heart breakers
Lay me down with the others
‘Cause I’m no better
As always, thanks for listening and supporting this whole music thing I do.

This is one of my favorites and one I think of often.
Laura Krokos says:
You remind me of one of the old (wise) men that walks away first when Jesus asked who would throw the first stone. Thanks for the example Shaun!

Love your message…and how true! We’re all sinners ~ each and every one! Praise Him for His mercy and His grace!

Great song, not many singers are publicly humble.
Praying that you continue getting inspired to inspire the rest of us.
