What This World Needs

What this world needs

Is not another one-hit wonder with an axe to grind

Another two-bit politician peddling lies

Another three-ring circus society

What this world needs

Is not another sign-waving 'Super Saint' who's better than you

Another ear-pleasing candy man afraid of the truth

Another prophet in an Armani suite

What this world needs

Is a savior who will rescue

A spirit who will lead

A father who will love them

In their time of need

A savior who will rescue

A spirit who will lead

A father who will love

That's what this world needs

What this world needs

Is for us to care more about the inside than the outside

Have we become so blind that we can't see

God's gotta change your heart before he changes a shirt

What this world needs

Is for us to stop hiding behind our relevance

Blending in so well that people can't see the difference

And it's the difference that sets the world free

What this world needs

Is a savior who will rescue

A spirit who will lead

A father who will love them

In their time of need

A savior who will rescue

A spirit who will lead

A father who will love

That's what this world needs

People aren't confused by the gospel

They're confused by us

Jesus is the only way to God

But we are not the only way to Jesus

This world doesn't need my tie, my hoodie

My denomination or my translation of the Bible

They just need Jesus

We can be passionate about what we believe

But we can't strap ourselves to the gospel

'Cause we're slowing it down

Jesus is going to save the world

But maybe the best thing we can do

Is just get out of the way

What this world needs

Is a savior who will rescue

A spirit who will lead

A father who will love them

In their time of need

A savior who will rescue

A spirit who will lead

A father who will love

That's what this world needs

Jesus is our Savior

That's what this world needs

The fathers arms around you

That's what this world needs

That's what this world needs
