Strolled into a church today
Everyone was really great
talk’n bout Jesus
and how he saves
Then I heard the pastor’s wife say
Don’t hang out were the sinners’ are
Cuz when you come to worship him
judging eyes will know who you are
Don’t let them see you doing things
Or they’ll call you a liar
when you’re worshiping him
Here at this place we’re about
praying and praise
not fishing for sinners
in the places they play
They gotta get clean
before they come into this place
Cuz it’s all about Jesus
and how he can save
So I got up and left asking myself
Is that really what Jesus is all about?
No wonder this world is such a mess
God didn’t make my Jesus like this
The Jesus I know looks for the ones
In need of a Sheppard to bring them home
But maybe I really don’t know
that old book
Since the Pastors wife I’m sure
knows it real good
I just can’t ever recall
reading that part
Where Jesus said to stay away
from where the sinners are
How will one ever
find his wandering sheep
If they wait for them
to wash themselves clean
Before they can wander in
where eyes await to catch you in sin!
Jesus looks for the ones
who live in sin
so he can bring them back to him
Walking among them
in the places they play
won’t make you turn that way
if your soul has been saved in his name
and he’s called you
to find lost sheep that have strayed
