Jesus, Full of Compassion

Oct 1

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I am the outcast leper
Falling helpless to my knees
You are the one who would touch me
Stretch out your hand, To make me clean

Verse 2:
I am the bleeding woman
Desperate reaching for your robes
You are the one who stops for me
You call me daughter, And make me whole

Chorus:
Jesus, full of compassion
With love for the broken
Beating in your heart, Beating in your heart
(That we’d know the love of God)

Verse 3:
I am like Lazarus buried
While Martha and Mary grieve in pain
You are the one who weeps for me
Tells me to rise up, Come out of the grave

Chorus

Bridge:
I am the haunted man in the graveyard
I am the woman awaiting the stones
I am the prodigal son
You’re like the Father who runs
Wraps me in love and carries me home

I am the crowd that calls for Barabbas
I am Peter denying your name
You take my cross and my death
You give me life instead
Your mercy is speaking right into my shame

Chorus
