JESUS, FRIEND OF SINNERS

Je sus, Friend of sin ners,

We cut down (Bbsus)peo ple in Your name, but the sword was (Gm)nev er ours to swing.

(Bb)Je sus, Friend of sin ners, the truth’s be (Bbsus)come so hard to (Bb)see.

The world is on their way to You,

but they’re (Gm)trip ping o ver me.

Al ways look ing a round, but nev er look ing up; I’m so dou ble mind ed.

A plank eyed (Eb)saint with dirt y hands and a heart di vid ed.

Oh, (Bb)Je sus,

(Eb)Friend of (F)sin ners,

o pen our eyes to the world at the (F)end of our point ing fin gers.

Let our (Bb)hearts be

(Eb)led by (F)mer cy.

Help us (Gm)reach with o pen hearts and o pen doors.

Oh, (Cm)Je sus, Friend of sin ners,

(Eb)break our hearts for what breaks Yours.

Yeah, yeah,

(Bb)Je sus, Friend of sin ners, the One whose (Eb)writ ing in the sand

made the (Eb)right eous turn a way

and the stones fall from their hands,

Let the (Eb)mem ’ry of Your mer cy bring Your (Gm)peo ple to their knees.

No bod y knows what we’re (Eb)for, on ly what we’re a gainst when we judge the wound ed.

What if we put down our (Eb)signs, crossed o ver the lines and loved like You did?

Oh, (Eb)break our hearts for what breaks Yours.

You love ev ’ry (Cm9)lost cause,

You reach for the (Ebmaj7)out cast,

they’re the (Ab)rea son that You came.

Lord, I was that (Cm9)lost cause,

and I was the (Eb)out cast,

’Cause You are (Eb)good,

You are (Bb)good,

and Your (F)love
