Jesus Friend Of Sinners Lyrics & Chords

By Casting Crowns

Verse 1  

(G)Jesus, friend of sinners 

We have (C)strayed so far (G)away 

We cut down (C)people in Your (G)name 

But the sword was (Em)never ours to (G)swing 

(G)Jesus, friend of sinners 

The truth's (C)become so hard to (G)see 

The world is (C)on their way to (G)You 

But they're (Em)tripping over (D)me 



Pre-Chorus  

Always looking (A)around and never looking (Em)up 

I'm so double (D)minded 

A plank-eyed (C)saint with dirty (Em)hands 

And a heart (D)divided 



Chorus  

Oh (G)Jesus, (C)friend of (D)sinners 

Open our (Em)eyes to the world 

At the (D)end of our pointing (C)fingers 

Let our (G)hearts be (C)led by (D)mercy 

Help us (Em)reach with open (D)hearts and open (C)doors 

Oh, (Am)Jesus friend of sinners 

(C)Break our hearts for what breaks Yours 



Verse 2  

Jesus, friend of sinners 

The One whose 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 



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 loved like you did 



Bridge 

You love every (Am)lost cause 

You reach for the out(C)cast 

For the (G)leper and the lame 

They're the (F)reason that You came 

Lord, I was that (Am)lost cause 

And I was the (C)outcast 

But You died for (G)sinners just like me 

A grateful (D)leper at Your feet 



Tag 

Cause You are good, You are good 

And your love endures forever 

And I was the lost cause 

And I was the outcast 

And You died for siners just like me
