VERSE 1
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 sever
For I am His and He is mine
Forever and forever
VERSE 2
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 forever
VERSE 3
Jesus, friend of sinners
I love to tell the story
Redeeming love has been my theme
And will be when in glory
Not death nor life nor anything
Can ever separate me
O love that will not let me go
Yes, I am His forever
