Jesus, friend of sinners
My soul is growing dark
And I find me in this place
Where I am losing heartJesus, Man of Sorrows
My eyes are filled with tears
Instead of smiling, I cry
From voices I hearJesus, Rock of Ages
I seek no other ground
Than You, the Great Cornerstone
From where my hope is foundJesus, My Hope and Song
You bring serenity
To the hearts that you have cleansed
When they fell to their kneesJesus, Hope for the Lost
You love the vagabonds
Our hearts, they yearn for healing
And freedom from our bondsJesus, King of All Things
You hold this world in sync
You humble the high and proud
And then raise up the meekJesus, Lover of Souls
You chase the prodigals
Though ragamuffins to Earth,
You've clothed them in white robesJesus, my Abba Father
Please scoop me in Your Arms
Remember me in the pit
Keep me from my self harm
