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

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

You died for sinners just like me

A grateful leper at Your feet

Who am I that the highest King

Would welcome me?

I was lost but He brought me in

Oh, His love for me

Oh, His love for me

Who the Son sets free

Oh, is free indeed

I'm a child of God

Yes, I am

Free at last, He has ransomed me

His grace runs deep

While I was a slave to sin

Jesus died for me

Yes, He died for me

Who the Son sets free

Oh, is free indeed

I'm a child of God

Yes, I am

In my Father's house

There's a place for me

I'm a child of God

Yes, I am

I am chosen

Not forsaken

I am who You say I am

You are for me

Not against me

I am who You say I am

I am chosen

Not forsaken

I am who You say I am

You are for me

Not against me

I am who You say I am

I am who You say I am

Who the Son sets free

Oh, is free indeed

I'm a child of God

Yes, I am

In my Father's house

There's a place for me

I'm a child of God

Yes, I am

In my Father's house

There's a place for me

I'm a child of God

Yes, I am

Who You Say I Am
