Jesus, Friend of Sinners

Jesus, what a Friend of sinners You are.
So compassionate, kind, my bright Morning Star.
How patient You have been with me, dear Lord.
My tears you wipe, as You begin to restore.

No condemnation from You I felt,
While You gently lead me, my heart You do melt.
With tenderness, pity, understanding You heal,
My deep wounds, upon the cross You did feel.

My Jesus, I love you more than before,
How precious You are, while You knock at the door,
Of my broken heart, from eternity You knew,
Knowing all about me, yet You never withdrew.

Oh, Jesus, how can I say thank you my Friend?
There for me while my heart You gently do mend.
My Jesus, You are the One I adore,
Placed inside Your bleeding wounds,
Jesus, while all else fails, I need nothing more.
