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 these
Let the memory of your mercy bring your people to their knees
Nobody 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
