Jesus, friend of sinners loved me 'ere I knew Him
Drew me with His cords of love tightly bound me to Him
'Round my heart still closely twined the ties that none can sev-er
For I am His and He is mine forever and forever
Jesus, friend of sinners a crown of thorns You wore for me
Bruised for my transgressions pierced for my iniquities
The wrath of God that I deserved was poured out on the innocent
He took my place, my soul to save now I am His forev-er
Jesus, friend of sin- ners I love to tell the sto- ry
Redeeming love has been my theme and will be when in glo- ry
Not death nor life nor anything can ever separate me
O love that will not let me go yes I am His forev- er
