people need the Lord

i grew up with this song all my life, but i never really thought about the reality of its message. the world is desperately looking for God, and we are called to be his servants. there is no cost too great, no price too high to tell the word the story of our Savior and the power of the cross.

people need the Lord

everyday they pass me by
i can see it in their eyes
empty people filled with care
headed who knows where
on they go through private pain
living fear to fear;
laughter hides their silent cries
only Jesus hears

people need the Lord
people need the Lord
at the end of broken dreams,
He's the open door
people need the Lord
people need the Lord
when will we realize
people need the Lord

we are called to take His light
to a world where wrong seems right
what could be too great a cost
for sharing life with one who's lost
through His love our hearts can feel
all the grief they bear;
they must hear the Words of Life
only we can share

people need the Lord
people need the Lord
at the end of broken dreams,
He's the open door
people need the Lord
people need the Lord
when will we realize
that we must give our lives
for people need the Lord
people need the Lord

in His love,
dan
