Jesus Friend Of Sinners

Verse 1

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

Pre chorus 1

Always looking around and never looking up

I'm so double minded

A plank eyed saint with dirty hands

And a heart divided

Verse 2

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

Pre chorus 2

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 loved like you did

Bridge 1

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

Birdge 2

You are good, You are good

And Your love endures forever
