Why You Came
Lord you came not to call the righteous
Not to heal the healthy
Not to fix what wasn't broken
But to call the poor and sick
If I'm whole I don't need your healing
Don't need my sins forgiven
Don't need another purpose
Yet I know that I'm not whole
No matter what my head may tell me
My heart's a broken mess
My soul wastes away from sin
I'm in a fight that I can't win
But that's exactly why you came
To call the helpless ones like me
And by your death and resurrection
From my sickness set me free
And in your death my heart was traded
For one unbound by sin and shame
Now I can daily follow
The one who gives eternal gain
Lord you came not to call the righteous
Not to heal the healthy
Not to fix what wasn't broken
But to call the poor and sick
If I'm whole I don't need your healing
Don't need my sins forgiven
Don't need another purpose
Yet I know that I'm not whole
No matter what my head may tell me
My heart's a broken mess
My soul wastes away from sin
I'm in a fight that I can't win
But that's exactly why you came
To call the helpless ones like me
And by your death and resurrection
From my sickness set me free
And in your death my heart was traded
For one unbound by sin and shame
Now I can daily follow
The one who gives eternal gain
And in your death my heart was traded
For one unbound by sin and shame
Now I can daily follow
The one who gives eternal gain
Not to heal the healthy
Not to fix what wasn't broken
But to call the poor and sick
If I'm whole I don't need your healing
Don't need my sins forgiven
Don't need another purpose
Yet I know that I'm not whole
No matter what my head may tell me
My heart's a broken mess
My soul wastes away from sin
I'm in a fight that I can't win
But that's exactly why you came
To call the helpless ones like me
And by your death and resurrection
From my sickness set me free
And in your death my heart was traded
For one unbound by sin and shame
Now I can daily follow
The one who gives eternal gain
Lord you came not to call the righteous
Not to heal the healthy
Not to fix what wasn't broken
But to call the poor and sick
If I'm whole I don't need your healing
Don't need my sins forgiven
Don't need another purpose
Yet I know that I'm not whole
No matter what my head may tell me
My heart's a broken mess
My soul wastes away from sin
I'm in a fight that I can't win
But that's exactly why you came
To call the helpless ones like me
And by your death and resurrection
From my sickness set me free
And in your death my heart was traded
For one unbound by sin and shame
Now I can daily follow
The one who gives eternal gain
And in your death my heart was traded
For one unbound by sin and shame
Now I can daily follow
The one who gives eternal gain
