HE DID NOT COME FOR THE RIGHTEOUS song lyrics
by Joel Sattler and Ed Silva

based on Luke 5, Matthew 4‎ and Mark 1

James and John of Zebedee
and Simon Peter fishers three
saw Jesus come to teach the crowd
by the sea of Galilee

it came to pass at Gennesaret
that after Jesus spoke
He bade them all to cast their nets
so full until they broke

Simon said "I'm a sinful man
unworthy since I don't know when"
and Jesus said "Come with me
and I shall make you fishers of men"

and so they brought their ships to land
and forsaketh all to go with him
He said "I came not to call the righteous,
but the sinners to repent."

You! Yes! You!
Worry no more
He didn't come for the righteous
He came for you!
Came for the sick!
Came for the thieves!
He came for liars and murderers!
He came for the fallen women!
He came for lepers!
He came for me and you
To give us life abundant

And it came to pass
when he came in a certain city
beheld of leprosy
who said "O Lord take pity

:if thou wilt, thou make me clean."
and Jesus said "I will" and started
putting forth His hand he touched him
and his leprosy departed

and later men brought for a man
paralysed with palsy
and cured him of his sickness
and said to him go free

the Pharisees they spoke against Him
saying only God forgives
and Jesus said "They whole are not sick
need not a doc to live."

He said "I came not to call the righteous,
but the sinners to repent."
He came to rescue us from evil
from the Father He was sent.
