This song moves me. I hope it moves you, too.
Everyday they pass me byI can see it in their eyesEmpty people filled with careHeaded who knows where
On they go through private painLiving fear to fearLaughter hides their silent criesOnly Jesus hears
People need the Lord, people need the LordAt the end of broken dreams, He’s the open doorPeople need the Lord, people need the LordWhen will we realize people need the Lord?
We are called to take His lightTo a world where wrong seems rightWhat could be too great a costFor sharing life with one who’s lost?
Through His love our hearts can feelAll the grief they bearThey must hear the words of lifeOnly we can share
People need the Lord, people need the LordAt the end of broken dreams, He’s the open doorPeople need the Lord, people need the LordWhen will we realize that we must give our lives?For people need the Lord, people need the Lord.
