Jesus, Friend Of Sinners

(アルバム： Come To The Well - 2011)

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 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.

Jesus, friend of sinners, the one who's writing in the sand.
May 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 loved 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,
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.

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.

And I was the lost cause,
And I was the outcast.

You died for sinners just like me,
A grateful leper at Your feet.
