lyrics

Friend of Sinners

I was afraid and could not speak
I was a-tremblin’ on my knees
Torn and naked before the Throne
Choking on a heart of stone
There I wept upon Your splendor
Sweet Jesus, precious Friend of Sinners

My tongue was loosed and I could see
The wounded hands of God on me
Torn and naked before the Throne
When every lilt and every tone
Was so beautiful and tender
Sweet Jesus, blessed Friend of Sinners

Torn and naked before the Throne
Choking on a heart of stone
There I wept upon Your splendor
Sweet Jesus, precious Friend of Sinners
His Name is Jesus, Friend of Sinners

"If there are things bigger than sex and laughs, then we damn well better sing about it. If there is a God in heaven even singing against him makes more sense than the hair metal with all its soft porn videos...Burr’s albums have the heaviness of a novel. You don’t read Faulkner for entertainment. Some authors are too full of gravity. You don’t read them at the beach. You read them at the grave." ... more
