Verse 
 Bm                       D
 Here I am, God, I'm the chief of sinners
    G
 Pretending that I'm not, but who am I kidding
Bm       D                 G
 You already know the truth, so why would I lie to You
 Bm                                  D
 You don't need my pride, You don't need my excuses
    G
 Without the blood of Jesus, the best of me is useless
D/A                            Bm         G
 And I'm unqualified for Heaven, but You said that I'm forgiven


Chorus
D                         Em
Jesus, friend of sinners, Your heart is full of grace
Bm                       G
Loved me long before I wanted to change
D                              Em
Jesus, friend of sinners, Your table is where I find
     Bm                             G
That someone just like me could sit by Your side

Verse 
 Bm                        D
 Here I am, God, with my heart expecting
    G
 Another disappointment and rejection
Bm                   D
 But You swing the doors open wide
G           
 And You say come in and find
   Bm                 D
 A meal prepared of bread and wine
     G
 The body and the blood of Christ
      A                           Bm
 Who gave it all to give me life forever

 Here I am, God, the chief of sinners

 But hanging on a cross, it was finished

 You qualified me for Heaven
G
 When You said, Father, forgive them
