Caroline Cobb: Only the Sick Need a Physician [OFFICIAL Live Performance & Song Story]

From the new album a Home & a Hunger: Songs of Kingdom Hope, releasing 9/7/17. Featuring Songbird & Strings.

Told from the Pharisees perspective. Based on Matthew 9:9-13, John 8:3-11, Luke 7:36-50, Matthew 23.

LYRICS:
V1:
Who is this man who sits with the sinners
Who dines with the drunkards
And loves the unclean
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

V2:
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

V3:
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

Featuring Songbird & Strings:

I have no idea how I ended on your music. Buy it has been a saving grace and the lord answering prayers through song. Be blessed. I’m so thankful for your voice and praise

Such a lovely song! It reminds me a lot of Rich Mullins, in the way that beautiful, contagious melody combines with Biblical truth presented in simple, yet thoughtful lyrics..."winds of heaven, stuff of earth", as Rich Mullins would say. You have a gift, Caroline, and the Lord is blessing the world through your art. God bless!

Thankful for God's timing. I just "found this" via a dear sister in the Lord, today. It is a NOW Word in so many ways in my world. So much He calls to the least, the last, the lost, the wounded, the outcasts and truly that describes us all at some level. Lord help us to not become arrogant and convinced we are ok and too good for yeah, fill in the blank for those we might consider the untouchables in our worlds. This song is God sent. Thank you for listening to God's voice and becoming His word to us.

5800 views tell me that this is special. On the other hand you are worth 10 million views. I pray for the world that their eyes may be opened. Thank you so much much for being.

Sweetie, can't understand the words very well. Maybe some better enunciation?
