Jesus, Friend Of Sinners |
| Jesus friend of sinners we have strayed so far away |
| We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing |
| Jesus friend of sinners the truth’s become so hard to see |
| The world is on their way to you but they’re tripping over me Always looking around but never looking up i’m so double minded |
| A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided |
| Oh jesus friend of sinners |
| Open our eyes to world at the end of our pointing fingers |
| Let our hearts be led by mercy |
| Help us reach with open hearts and open doors |
| Oh jesus friend of sinners break our hearts for what breaks yours |
| Yeah… |
| Jesus friend of sinners the one who’s writing in the sand |
| Make the righteous turn away and the stones fall from their hands |
| Help us to remember we are all the least of thieves |
| Let the memory of your mercy bring your people to their knees |
| No one knows what we’re for only against when we judge the wounded |
| What if we put down our signs crossed over the lines and loved like you did |
| Oh jesus friend of sinners |
| Open our eyes to world at the end of our pointing fingers |
| Let our hearts be led by mercy |
| Help us reach with open hearts and open doors |
| Oh jesus friend of sinners break our hearts for what breaks yours |
| You love every lost cause; |
| you reach for the outcast |
| For the leper and the lame; |
| they’re the reason that you came |
| Lord i was that lost cause and i was the outcast |
| But you died for sinners just like me a grateful leper at your feet |
| 'cause you are good, you are good and your love endures forever |
| You are good, you are good and your love endures forever |
| You are good, you are good and your love endures forever |
| You are good, you are good and your love endures forever |
| Oh jesus friend of sinners |
| Open our eyes to world at the end of our pointing fingers |
| Let our hearts be led by mercy |
| Help us reach with open hearts and open doors |
| Oh jesus friend of sinners break our hearts for what breaks yours |
| And i was the lost cause and i was the outcast |
| Yeah… |
| You died for sinners just like me, a grateful leper at your feet |
