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

                 D#                     Gm
Always looking around but never looking up
               F
I'm so double minded
               D#               Gm
A plank eyed saint with dirty hands
               F
and a heart divided

Chorus:
    A#     D#       F
Oh Jesus friend of sinners
         Gm                       F
Open our eyes to the world at the end of
             D#
our pointing fingers
         A#        D#     F
Let our hearts be led by mercy
        Gm               F               D#
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
    Cm                       D#
Oh Jesus friend of sinners break our
hearts for what breaks yours

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 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 love like You did

Chorus

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

         D#            A#
You are good, You are good,
          F             Gm
and Your love endures forever - x4

Chorus

And I was the lost cause
And I was the outcast
Yeah
You died for sinners just like me
A grateful leper at Your feet
