Jesus, Firend of Sinners [Live] Songtext
von Casting Crowns

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 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 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 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
Einde
