Casting Crowns - Jesus, Friend Of Sinners (with lyrics)

[@maryannedeleon385]

"Break our hearts for what breaks yours."

[@bigskyfinancialgroup2516]

AMEN sister.

[@loripenn902]

Athiesm breaks God heart I don't care what your sin is...just don't die athiest ♡

[@josiewelsy1]

***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!

[@letinhsong8024]

I know, that's the line that got me the first time I ever heard it, the first time I ever even heard Casting Crowns on the radio, because of this song I went out and bought their CD, and believe me, that's a rare thing for me to do! Probably the only one I've bought in two years, other than Christmas albums.

[@ChristCoordinates]

Matthew 7:1,2 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

[@isidroperez9805]

Thank you LORD for your mercy, for your forgivness and your grace.

[@lizzieoi7197]

Amen.! :)

[@ldcoffey3060]

More Revelant Today Than Ever. We Have To Do Better. Holy Spirit Guide Us.

[@Elizabethlynn123]

Amen.

[@bigskyfinancialgroup2516]

This was one of the 1st songs I listened to 10 years ago when JESUS found me. And this morning I listen to it and thank GOD for changing this wretch of a man like me. The least of the least, horrible man. Facing no hope and suicide was my way out. Facing problems and no way out. 1st time I ever prayed. Really prayed asking for help on top of a mountain. And bam. HE found me. Took the world right off my chest. A testimony that is truly unbelievable. My precious brothers and sisters out there. Truly SEEK HIM with all your ❤. Our mighty JESUS deserves it all. Do not be afraid to tell others about Our KING. I truly am a walking miracle. Thank you JESUS ❤.

[@Mark_Grand]

This song is so true, and we need God to break our hearts for what breaks his, because sometimes we just "play church" and we don't really have a burden for winning souls or for worshipping God! Prayer warriors everywhere need to pray for "Christians" to really get a burden for God instead of just going through the motions!

[@amyli092]

I've been sitting in my room with only one dim light on, crying my eyes out off and on for the past 30 minutes or so.... the only thing that's going through my mind as I listen to this is that I need Jesus now more than ever. I don't know myself with Him, and keeping God in life is something I don't want to take lightly or for granted anymore. I just feel so dejected and depleted from my trauma.... Please help me, Lord. Your will is for my good. I'm sorry for all the times I wasn't able to recognize that.... 😢😞

[@leonaho6555]

I pray you may find healing. You are not alone.

[@MaryC-gh7tg]

You are worthy and loved. Take it from me, no matter what you're going through God is right in it with you. Never let him go. God bless you

[@wadeunderhile7977]

God bless you and don't give up

[@Tairn1234]

Whether your trial is over or not, may the Amen bless you beyond measure with peace that cannot be taken away.

[@Bubbalovesme23]

You are so loved by JESUS. GOD Bless you ❤️🙏✝️❤️

[@billyweems3796]

For sinners such as myself. YES!

[@hispuregarden]

On this, my birthday, I'm dedicating this song to myself as a continuous reminder of the kind of believer I must be in order that others may NEVER trip over me on their way to the Savior.

[@danielbrunt4834]

This might be my favorite worship song I've ever heard. So poignant and raw.

[@shem3405]

We all fall short of Gods Glory everyday but he loves us and that is how we should love even when someone fails we should always love them and forgive them.

[@bryan4jesus_]

Romans 5:8 For yet we were still sinners Christ Died for us.

[@nhieatm3476]

LORD forgive me.i know your love is endures forever.create me a new Heart. In JESUS NAME. Amen

[@cheriosgoraseb8338]

This song should be a wake up call for us christians who think we are much more important, love and better then those who dont know Christ. I love the this song and I love people. ''God give me a heart like yours''

[@Natedawg1998]

This comment section saddened me more than any I've ever read, Christians are supposed to be better than this... The song lyric, "the worlds running to you, but their tripping over me," applies because Jesus told his disciples and all his followers that the only way to convert every time is to show his level of love and compassion... I don't see it anymore... "Nobody knows what we're for, only what we're against when we judge the wounded," no a bible verse, but true nonetheless

[@NightOwl1515]

Exactly brother, He said that the world would hate us, He didn't say that we should give them a reason to.

[@NatureGoesRawr]

@Nathan and Steampunk, Indeed :c

[@jasmynpolitethebraillefana4179]

Jesus also said as Christians we will be persecuted like he but we must stand strong in him and not care about peoples approval.

[@beautyhunter2286]

@@jasmynpolitethebraillefana4179 Still, the one thing Christ is known for is love. The people who even orchestrated his death and that of his disciples were not really the pagans but the "righteous" ones aka Judaism which at the time was the "Christianity" of today.

[@OneLaw214]

sadly so. Anyone who has ever asked "Jesus Break Our Hearts for what breaks yours!" Will never mock even the least

[@unburriedtalents599]

This just came on the radio and I'm so grateful this music was out when I first got saved. Classic. Powerful. Ty & God bless. 🧡🙌🏽😇🙏🏼

[@SainteChapelle]

Mark 1:15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."

[@1ReluctantSaint]

I cry every time I hear this song....I WAS that lost cause, I WAS that outcast, but He died for sinners just like me, and now I AM that greatful leper at His feet. I didn't come to Him by someone telling me they loved me, but hated my sin. I came to Him as David Crowder's song puts it, "Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes". Now all I want is for others like me to see His grace in my eyes, see His love in my actions, and to hear His voice in my words.

[@kareninalabama]

Amen! We were ALL that lost cause, we were ALL that outcast. Unfortunately, after receiving our gift of salvation, some of us forget this and begin to mistake the righteousness of Christ that covers our sins for our **own** righteousness, forgetting that NONE is righteous, not one, without the sacrificed blood of Christ.

[@barbarabeeson7039]

What a beautiful response- exactly what I needed and want too

[@LauraHonegger-li4bn]

HE is my friend.... even though I have done so much to hurt HIM. Praise HIM forever!!!! I love You LORD!

[@jj_hoolio]

Whoo. Takes my breath away. It's the first song that I sing when I have a secular song stuck in my head; it washes it away, lol.

[@stoneminer4464]

Same! Doing it right now, in fact. :)

[@BabyDuh95]

the message in this song is so powerful. I could listen to it on repeat for days

[@lolahorak1099]

I think the ones that do not like this song are the ones pointing fingers. Maybe they should listen again, but really listen this time. Maybe, just maybe, the song is talking about them. Praise the Lord, this song convicted me!

[@samanthanoble6865]

Amen!

[@MrCubFan415]

I think you mean convinced. Convicted would mean declared guilty, which I highly doubt is what you meant to say :)

[@pattymartin3801]

This song changed my life, and the way I treat people!

[@sierranevadasurgicalassoci3581]

How could people dislike this when it's such a beautiful true song! Praise the Lord!

[@purpleroyalty3290]

Amen

[@kaynath]

Casting Crowns. i thank God for placing this song in your heart to sing to me, to remind me who i am, this song is my pray. I pray for you Casting Crowns that God will continue to bless you with the right words to write your song to sing to us. I love all your music, voices, words that I have heard so far. Great job and keep it up.

[@joesutliff860]

I love this song it really puts the Christ in Christian

[@charlottekryder6554]

The Lord Jesus is the answer to our problems and challenges, Only He is all pure and all powerful!!

[@PrudenceMulenga-uu9qe]

When we're in sin Gods love , Mercy and grace was sufficient 😢

[@sussanna4243]

Jesus my faithful friend❤❤

[@turtletruckdirt7139]

Phil, so should all sinners. We have all lied, yet there's someone out there who loves us whether it's God or people. I'm not saying homosexuality is right, but neither are any of our sins. This song says it beautifully. "A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided..."

[@j-yoshi6474]

1 Cor. 6 says the homosexuality doesn't get people into heaven, but the verse immediately after the one that says that proves this isn't the end of the story and that there is hope :)

[@ernestgann3402]

+Josh Layng " I was delivered from 24 years of drug ,alcohol, abuse, I was also delivered from homosexuality and prostitution. When I received my calling ; God told me he would send me back to the same pit he brought me out of to preach the gospel. I'm a living testimony of God's grace !

[@reubenthenebuer]

The lyrics behind this song are really powerful. God has really blessed Casting Crowns with music, and in return they have blessed me and so many people. My eyes have really been opened to the world at the end of my pointing finger. I'm trying not to judge with plankful eyes. thank you Casting Crowns for an amazing eye-opening song!

[@marji889]

Jesus ,friend of this sinne r thanks for putting up with my attitude....

[@cjwom8953]

Im going through a season in my life where God is really showing me the power fear, pride, and judging, and how it stops you from getting anywhere. His power is greater though , and He wants us to let go and give it all to Him. This song is so good, because its showing how we need to show mercy and grace to these people instead judging them. Give the people the benifit of the doubt. You dont know what there going through, and how they grew up. That doesnt mean Im saying what their doing is right...but how are we going to lead people to Christ if all they know about us is that we judge, and arent taking the oppurtunitys to show love. Its not worth it...it brings you down, them down, and certainly doesnt please God. "So Jesus friend of sinners..open our eyes to the world of our pointing fingers. Let our hearts be lead by mercy, and Break our hearts for what breaks Yours."

[@KingofChickens1]

Jesus lead the way

[@patearly9492]

Just found a new favorite song. God bless everyone

[@PeetaLuv]

Jesus friend of sinners, help me see the wounded call to you..

[@reyvalrussellmanso7799]

nice timing. my devotion this morning is at John 8:1-...

[@BrendaMarciniszyn]

One of my favorites. I was the outcast, I was the lost cause, but a grateful lepor at His feet.

[@Justwatchedyou]

It never fails to amaze how many people dont know the difference between judge and condemn. We are called to judge. We cant tell whats right and wrong without judging. To condemn is not our place. "the sword was never ours to swing." Its a small argument over terminology yet the difference is the detail that holds the power. Its not the judgement that is the offence its the condemnation, which is a sword we are not allowed to swing.

[@mikepeerdata]

God Bless you Brother. I pray one day you get back to The Lord and Walk with him. I pray that you make all things right with God. There is only one answer for the things you mentioned. Those that are pointing and judging people need to stand back and look at their own lives. Worry about their own salvation and weep and pray for others, but NEVER Condemn. Unfortunately, Christians and any other Religious Group live in the Flesh. The Devil runs this world. One day that will all Change. God Bless.

[@elyzabethanngal]

Best thing I've read in my whole life. I am a Christian and this is exactly how I feel.. this is how all Christians should feel. Not sure how so many Christians feel so much hate towards so many people.

[@keptyeti]

Thanks to this message we won't see any more Christians condemning and judging the rest of us. Now we're all going to finally get along! Thanks, Casting Crowns!

[@vickyamyx-uo1wd]

With the state of the world and all the violence and evil that seems to be becoming the norm, as a Christian I have failed. I have been one of the judgemental. This song says it all. And like the lyrics say "break our hearts for what breaks Your's.

[@alandrabrannon]

2020.... This song is more relevant than ever. Let our hearts be led by mercy.

[@ericksojo1200]

Jesus, my best friend...I am a sinner reedemed by his precious blood.

[@NateK94]

And.. Telling them exactly WHAT their sins are is NOT JUDGING THEM!!! That's what he's saying!

[@aLoTuTuSa]

This song definitely hit home! Speaking for myself, I sometmes get too consumed about MY issues, My struggles and MY salvation, but we forget whats Jesus' Great Commision was.. Thank you for writing a profound song, thank you sincerely for your ministry! :)

[@miriamihura4137]

if i say i have no sins am lying.thats why Jesus is my friend because he understand my weakness.

[@pavelshalnwv8494]

Sin breaks people down, and it's never gonna be me normal, but you can find peace at Jesus feet

[@kaledmasterme]

are we not all sinners, even if we belong, God forgive us all, we do not always mean to sin but there is always something we do wrong it just needs to be recognised and dealt with by the Father, making us into the image of Christ, we just need to be in continual obedience to Him and let the Holy spirit do His wonderful work. God have mercy and help us all.

[@mrstrishlick]

Awesome song! Thanks Mark Hall and the others producing this. I start my morning with this song and I pray for God's help to get me through and into every day.

[@xsugawifey8606]

love love this song and casting crown...God bless you...one way Jesus PERIOD.

[@Jacoboby1]

Jesus Friend of Sinners like all of us. He died for sinners like all of us, and I will love him even when I have to stand before him and make my case. I can never reach heaven on my own, but somebody has already picked me up and met me half way. It's time we went all the way with the one who died for us. Jesus is the way the truth and the life...we find the father through him

[@SainteChapelle]

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ --Matthew 7:21-23

[@CrazyBlonde97]

I absolutely L O V E this song. It always makes me feel better no matter what because I know that before I knew who Jesus was I was that lost cause and I was the outcast. I always remember that God is good and His love endures forever!

[@therookie5714]

Hope you are doing well now. God bless

[@carolynwuebbles8340]

God is not mad at you. He loves you.

[@jessicajoyrios]

this song personally touched my heart and soul tremendously...just passing on the blessing sing sing sing unto our savior and Heavenly Father creator of heaven and earth and all that is in it ...you may call him Jesus but I am no longer ashamed or fearful to say that i lovingly call him YaHuWaH.....I love you all dearly....sing sing sing praise and worship draws his presence nigh keep singing I love you all much love peace and prayers jessicAH joy

[@NatureGoesRawr]

I think this a song that we all really needed to hear. I'm so happy that they wrote this

Your love for the LORD shines through His gift in you both. Thank you so much for sharing His gift ya'll, God bless your ministry with the ability to reach the hearts that will believe, amen.

[@leonaho6555]

This song reminds me of how Jesus reached out to the Samaritan woman at the well although people would disapprove of Him talking to her. Christ healed people with leprosy although others stayed away from them because they considered them "unclean." Jesus offered both physical healing and forgiveness to the lives He touched. When the thief on the cross asked Jesus to remember him, Jesus said that they would meet in Paradise. Jesus called even a tax collector to follow Him, although they were seen as thieves. Jesus even forgave the disciple Peter after he denied knowing Christ 3 times. I am reminded that every Christ-follower was once an unbeliever. I still have hope that the people I love may be saved, and I pray for them. Thank you deeply to Casting Crowns for such wonderful lyrics and music. ❤

[@gwan1ma]

Praises to our merciful God who redeemed you and brought you to Him. Oh how He loves us!!! I've never suffered as much as you but need Him just as much. God bless you!

Yes! We ALL ARE GUILTY OF THIS! LORD,HELP US ALL FOR WE ALL ARE SINNERS🙏🙌✝️

[@DiegoMartinez-rn8fe]

8 years later here I am. Wishing the church would revisit these songs in 2021

[@hendrixchristie]

Everyone is a sinner! "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23 All we can do is ask forgivness for our sins. This song really puts things into perspective. We don't need to be so quick to point fingers when ALL SINS ARE EQUAL! NObody is perfect. I thank God that he blesses me daily and that I know who he is.

[@prinzfelipe]

What an amazing song. Thanks Casting Crowns for sharing such a powerful message.

[@BEEBEE159]

That's why Joshua declares "Take up your cross and follow me [not the law]." He means stop focusing on your flesh; and instead focus on you spirit. Have faith that Joshua will save you in spite of your sinful flesh. That is our blessed hope...and he will fulfill his promise. Therefore, the sign that a person is under grace is that he has "Hope." Agaist all odds (in spite of his sinful nature) he believes God will raise him from the dead.

[@monicabreslin4269]

Recently God has been showing me how to be friendly to others...... Your influence is the greatest way to win others.....not saying we're better than them!

[@NateK94]

Amen!!! It's our (Christians') place to judge by the Word of God, determining what is and isn't sin. Only God alone reserves the power to condemn. We simply warn unrepentant sinners of the coming Condemnation!

[@kevinwatson7221]

I completely agree with you there. Remember that it is not about the church, it is about God. It is about Jesus. You never know; maybe God will lead you to a good church. He led me to one. Christianity has two meanings: a religion and a relationship. Focus on the relationship first, and then worry finding a church. I'll pray for you.

[@GailColeman]

Surely, we are loved, no matter where life has taken us or what we have done, no matter that we have been the outcasts!

[@rmicah10]

i love this song so much... Casting Crowns has been a driving force for me the past few years... really ever since i was a toddler... i love their music and a blessed to be alive today, i was that leper... so sick to realize many things... I thank you for this music and your ministry.

15-08-2023 GOD BLESS YOU FOR BEING A BLESSING IN MY LIFE, CASTING CROWNS!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@NateK94]

You're all right. we're all human and make mistakes. Once we realize that, we can fully appreciate Grace, for "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us". We Christians must remember to be humbled at all times by the truth of Christ's sacrifice, instead of thinking we're better that everyone else and judging people simply by what they wear, how they talk or how they look. Eternal destiny isn't to be taken so lightly as to judge on those trivial matters!

[@Grbl77]

"For God so loved the world that he gave His only Son"..And i agree with Bob Simmons. This discussion should not exist anyway; it is a beautiful song about a man who died for our sins. I was surprised in a negative way finding this discussion when looking for this great song. I believe God does not judge people, people judge eachother; happens to be our nature unfortunately. I am happy to know that my church accepts ALL people who seek for what many already have lost in this modern day society..

[@3Kasem3]

Awesome Song! This band is truly anointed by God and especially Bro. Mark who gets the anointing to write such great songs with such powerful lyrics. Soli Deo Gloria!

[@wartwostudios]

I have wonderful friends and family but Jesus is my one true friend that will one day bring me to him and forgive me of all my sins and let me rest in heaven with him for eternity

[@BEEBEE159]

An important thing to remember is that the bible is to be STUDIED, not just read; and when you study it, it is important to take note of who (meaning what kind of person or group) the speaker is talking to. The harsh verses that christians like to attack people with, are actually being addressed to pharisee-type people. For example, the book of Romans was addressing a self-righteous group of people (Rom 2:17-24). He is trying to preach the gospel to a bunch of hipocrits (Rom 1: 15-17).

[@wizt586bte]

I have fallen in love with song. The more I hear it, the more I love it. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. I thank God so much for sending Hid son to die for all of us. Taking our place on that cross. We all should live to glorify Him. We all stumble and fall. But our God will help us through. He never gives us anything He knows that we can't take. I am so thankful that He loves each and everyone of us. Forgiving every sin, every wrong thing we have ever done. That is a TRUE FRIEND.
