"Jesus Friend of Sinners"
Casting Crowns (Album: Come to the Well)
Lyrics:
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
