Every day

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 eyes

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
