“CHRIST CALLS THE SINNER”

Many point accusing fingers at Peter

because one night he denied the Lord;

fearing the judgment of men,

he hid the voice of his Master.

Three times he fell into silence

while the rooster loudly cried;

and tears of true repentance

broke his heart inside.

But before becoming an apostle,

Paul himself once persecuted;

the disciples of Christ

he violently imprisoned.

While Stephen was being martyred,

Saul stood there approving still;

thinking he was serving Heaven,

he wounded the Church of the Lord’s will.

(Pre-Chorus)

Who can call himself righteous

when all have fallen in sin?

How many times through our actions

have we rejected Christ within?

Not only does he deny the Savior

who says, “I do not know Him”;

the one who walks in darkness also

betrays the Lord through sin.

(Chorus)

Christ did not come for the righteous

who never need forgiveness and grace;

He came in search of sinners

to heal the human heart.

Peter fell… yet was restored;

Paul persecuted… yet was transformed;

for the grace of Christ is greater

than the sinner’s deepest fault.

In one way or another

we all have denied the Lord;

when pride begins to rule us,

when love grows cold within the soul.

Every hidden sin we cherish,

every rejection of His voice,

silently pierces once more

the wounds of Christ our Lord.

(Pre-Chorus)

There is no sin so deep

that His grace cannot overcome;

if the soul humbles itself before Christ,

new life can truly come.

Yet Christ looks upon us with mercy,

not with a desire to condemn;

and to the soul that returns repentant

He offers peace again.

Upon the shore He called to Peter:

“Do you love Me?” He asked;

and the persecutor on the road to Damascus

was overcome by Heaven’s light at last.

(Pre-Chorus)

There is no sin so deep

that His grace cannot overcome;

if the soul humbles itself before Christ,

new life can truly come.

(Chorus)

Christ did not come for the righteous

who never need forgiveness and grace;

He came in search of sinners

to heal the human heart.

Peter fell… yet was restored;

Paul persecuted… yet was transformed;

for the grace of Christ is greater

than the sinner’s deepest fault.

(Bridge)

Do not condemn your brother

while forgetting your own frailty;

only God fully knows

the battle within the human heart.

The same Peter who once wept bitterly

later strengthened the faith;

and Paul, once a persecutor,

gave his very life for Christ.

(Final)

Lord, whenever I fail You,

do not cast me from Your love;

draw me back in true repentance

into Your arms of mercy above.

May I never live condemning others,

but always seeking conversion;

for every soul stands in need

of Your infinite salvation.

(Chorus)

Christ did not come for the righteous

who never need forgiveness and grace;

He came in search of sinners

to heal the human heart.

Peter fell… yet was restored;

Paul persecuted… yet was transformed;

for the grace of Christ is greater

than the sinner’s deepest fault.
