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

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
Em D C
Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers

Let our hearts be led by mercy
Em D C
Help us reach with open hearts and open

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

Verse 2:
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 thieves
Let the memory of Your mercy bring your people to their knees
Pre-Chorus:
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 love like you did
Repeat Chorus
