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 trippin' over me
Always lookin' around, but never lookin' 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 the 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, (yeah), yeah
Jesus, friend of sinners
The one who's writing in the sand
Made the righteous turn away
And the stones fall from their hands
Help us to remember we are all the least of these
Let the memory of Your mercy
Bring Your people to their knees
Nobody knows what we're for
Only what we're against when we judge the wounded
What if we put down our signs
Crossed over the lines and love like You did?
Oh, Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the 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 (every outcast)
For the leper and the lame
They're the reason that You came
Lord, I was that lost cause (I was that lost cause)
And I was the outcast (and I was the outcast)
But You died for sinners just like me
A grateful leper at Your feet
'Cause You are good, oh, You are good
And Your love endures forever
Oh, You are good, You are good
And Your love endures forever
(Ooh), You are good (You are good)
Yes, You are good (You are good)
And Your love endures forever
Oh, You are good, (You are good)
Oh, You are good, (You are good)
And Your love, (and Your love), endures forever
Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world
At the end of our pointing fingers
But 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
Yeeaah
You died for sinners just like me
A grateful leper at Your feet
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 trippin' over me
Always lookin' around, but never lookin' 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 the 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, (yeah), yeah
Jesus, friend of sinners
The one who's writing in the sand
Made the righteous turn away
And the stones fall from their hands
Help us to remember we are all the least of these
Let the memory of Your mercy
Bring Your people to their knees
Nobody knows what we're for
Only what we're against when we judge the wounded
What if we put down our signs
Crossed over the lines and love like You did?
Oh, Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the 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 (every outcast)
For the leper and the lame
They're the reason that You came
Lord, I was that lost cause (I was that lost cause)
And I was the outcast (and I was the outcast)
But You died for sinners just like me
A grateful leper at Your feet
'Cause You are good, oh, You are good
And Your love endures forever
Oh, You are good, You are good
And Your love endures forever
(Ooh), You are good (You are good)
Yes, You are good (You are good)
And Your love endures forever
Oh, You are good, (You are good)
Oh, You are good, (You are good)
And Your love, (and Your love), endures forever
Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world
At the end of our pointing fingers
But 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
Yeeaah
You died for sinners just like me
A grateful leper at Your feet
