[Verse 1]
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
The world is on their way to You
But they're tripping over me
Always looking around but never looking up
I'm so double minded
A plank eyed saint with dirty hands
And a heart divided
[Chorus]
Oh, Jesus friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world
At the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts
And open doors
Oh Jesus friend of sinners
Break our hearts for what breaks Yours
Yeah, yeah, yeah
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
The world is on their way to You
But they're tripping over me
Always looking around but never looking up
I'm so double minded
A plank eyed saint with dirty hands
And a heart divided
[Chorus]
Oh, Jesus friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world
At the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts
And open doors
Oh Jesus friend of sinners
Break our hearts for what breaks Yours
Yeah, yeah, yeah
