Eating With The Sinners
Lyrics & Music by Sam Powell © 2009
One thing I’ve discovered in this world today
Everyone’s a critic with something to say
Pointing out each little speck of dirt in our lives
Meanwhile there’s a plank in each one of their eyes
Seems that I was seen with unbelievers you learned
My spending time with them has got you concerned
I should just repent and flee these unforgiven folk
Cause Scripture says we’re not to be unequally yoked
Yes, I’m eating with the sinners
Hither with the heathen I’ll be hid
That’s right, I’m eating with the sinners
Cause honey, that’s what Jesus always did
Strange things have been happening I don’t get at all
Like friendships being broken in the fellowship hall
Smiles and hugs are hiding this deceptive disease
Who needs the enemy with brothers like these?
Friday we were gigging in a club downtown
By noon on Saturday word had gotten ‘round
What they fail to recognize from down in those weeds
While we were rockin’ I was planting some seeds
Thank the good Lord he’s devised a remedy
He taught it’s not the saints who need an MD
So when you see the faithless, be it gentile or jew
There’s really only one thing for a Christian to do
Yes, that’s eating with the sinners
Count them not your enemies but friends
And you should be pleading with the sinners
Explaining how the Savior died for them
