Only the Sick Need a Physician Lyrics by Caroline Cobb

a Home & a Hunger: Songs of Kingdom Hope

2017

[Verse 1]
Who is this man who sits with the sinners
Who dines with the drunkards and loves the unclean
Oh, 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
Only the sick need a physician
Oo-oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-oooo-oooh
[Verse 2]
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"
[Chorus]
Come, scarlet letters
You outcasts and debtors
I will call you my friends
I'll sit at your table
You broken and fatal
Only the sick need a physician
Oo-oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-oooo-oooh
Ooooh, oo-oooh
Ooooh, oo-oooh
[Verse 3]
And 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]
Come, scarlet letters
You outcasts and debtors
I will call you my friends
I'll sit at your table
You broken and fatal
Only the sick need a physician
Oo-oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-oooo-oooh
[Outro]
Only the sick need a physician
