"Seated With Sinners" lyrics
"Seated With Sinners"
Oh, you righteous man
Where does your salvation come from?
It's unearned and undeserved
Has your arrogance and your pride
Caused you to despise what
Still needs to be done here
Even in the darkest of atmospheres?
Who says I can't be found in a hospital?
Who says I can't be found in the midst of a war?
And you'll find Me
In the darkest corners of humanity
Where no man dares to go
For who can know the human soul like the Maker can?
You'll find Me
Where you forget there still lies a need at a
Table seated with sinners
Reaching out to thieves and tax collectors
Oh, the view from My eyes
Is a world in need of grace
Oh, you starving people
You don't know what it is you long for, it's a
Thirst-quenching well water
You yourself cannot provide
You look for truth in empty spaces, dark places
And your mouths are thirsty and dry
Who says I can't restore a dying marriage?
Who are you to say I can't redeem a broken home?
And you'll find Me
In the darkest corners of humanity
Where no man dares to go
For who can know the human soul like the Maker can?
You'll find Me
Where you forget there still lies a need
In your own hearts and minds if you would search for Me, yeah
In your churches, I'm still existing
In your congregations, still dwelling
In your hurt, I'm still mending
Your broken homes, I am restoring
For the outcast, I am claiming
For the prodigal, I am still chasing
For the pretenders, I am reality
And I'm standing here with My arms waving
Don't you see the hurting people in need?
All the lonely people in need?
And that you are the people in need?
