Jesus Friend Of Sinners

G

[Verse 1]
G                                C               G
Jesus Friend of sinners we have strayed so far away
             C              G                      Em            D
We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing
G                                     C                G
Jesus friend of sinners the truth's become so hard to see
              C               G               Em            D
The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me

[Pre-Chorus]
                 C                      Em                D
Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded
              C                   Em               D
A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided

[Chorus]
    G      C        D
Oh Jesus friend of sinners
         Em                        D                   C
Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers
         G         C      D
Let our hearts be led by mercy
         Em              D               C
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
    Am                       C ...
Oh Jesus friend of sinners break our hearts for what breaks yours

Em C G D

[Verse 2]
G                                       C             G
Jesus friend of sinners the one who's writing in the sand
          C               G            Em                    D
Made the righteous turn away and the stones fall from their hands
G                          C                  G
Help us to remember we are all the least of these
         C              G                Em              D
Let the memory of Your mercy bring your people to their knees

[Pre-Chorus]
                         C                    Em
Nobody knows what we're for only what we're against
                    D
When we  judge the wounded
                         C                      Em
What if we put down our signs crossed over the lines
                   D
And love like you did

Chorus:  x 1

Em

[Bridge]
                Am                            C
You love every lost cause, you reach for the outcast
         G                               F
For the leper and the lame, they're the reason that You came
                 Am                       C
Lord I was that lost cause and I was the outcast
                  G                               D
But you died for sinners just like me a grateful leper at Your feet

[Tag]
         C             G              D            Em ( C last time )
You are good, You are good, and Your love endures forever   x4

Chorus:  x 1
Em    C                  G                        D
          And I was the lost cause and I was the outcast
Em    C                 G                                D ...
          You died for sinners just like me, a grateful leper at Your feet
