You recoil from me, I'm a leper I guess I really can't blame you Disease in my veins poison me Payment for my sins come due My old lifestyle still haunts me I know that this is my own fault My preference is still a struggle My soul's is crushed by this assault All I ask of you, my friend Is be Jesus to my brokenness Treat me with His mercy Show me the faith that you profess Touch me without cringing See me without disdain Even Christ befriended sinners Sympathized with their pain Your other friends who live in sin Are they okay because they're straight Though they play with the same fate You don't shun them with hate They're still invited to your table You'll share a quiet conversation Don't want approval of my lifestyle Just wish you weren't so hostile I walk a lonely path Surrounded by wrath A self imposed chastity Cast in my frailty All I ask of you, my friend Is be Jesus to my brokenness Treat me with His mercy Show me the faith that you profess Just walk along with me Hear my pain and sorrow All I ask is for my dignity As I face the last of my Tomorrows
