Only the Sick Need a Physician
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Who is this man who sits with the sinners
Who dines with the drunkards
And loves the unclean
Oh who is this man who won't cast a stone
But honors the harlot
Who washes his feet, sayin’
Chorus:
Come, scarlet letters
You outcasts and debtors
I will call you my friends
I'll sit at your table
You broken and fatal
‘Cause only the sick need a physician
Oooooh
Verse 2:
Who is this man who calls God a father
The son of a blue collar carpenter man
Who calls us unclean, like tombs full of bones
We keep our religion,but whitewash our sin
Sayin’ be born again
Chorus
Verse 3:
And what kind of God would hang on a tree
Despised and rejected and nailed to the wood
You saved all the others, but can’t save yourself?
We don’t need you Jesus,we’re well and we’re good
And you're nailed to the wood
We never understood
There is none who is good! So
Chorus
