CASTING CROWNS lyrics : "Friend of Sinners"

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


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
Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours


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 loved like You did

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

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
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
