1 Verse:
I expected to meet Jesus on the Via Dolorosa
But all I found were noisy pushy men
And as the disdain rose up in my heart
I heard the Teacher teach again
Pre Chorus:
What do you think I loved about this city?
Do you think it was these streets?
Do you think it was the feeling?
Do you think that's what attracted Me?
Chorus 1:
I came for the people, I came for the crowds
I came for the mothers that had been broken down
I came for the sinners, for these ones that you see
For God so loved the people that He gave them Me
2 Verse:
It's not the cross that's attractive to Me
It's not nostalgia, nor the beauty of antiquities
It's not religions, nor mighty offerings
It's these people that I loved enough to bleed
Chorus 1:
I came for the people, I came for the crowds
I came for the mothers that had been broken down
I came for the sinners, for these ones that you see
For God so loved the people that He gave them Me
3 Verse:
Now as I walk the streets of Jerusalem
Or for that matter any other street
I'm done looking for moments
That only satisfy me
Chorus 2:
Lord, I will love the people, I'll have a heart for the crowds
I'll wrap my arms around the mothers that have been broken down
I'll reach out to the sinners and I'll tell them the truth
For God so loved the people that He gave them You
