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 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
