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 pair

Living fear to fear

Laughter hides their silent cries

Only Jesus hears



Chorus:

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 they 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

When will they realize

That we must give our lives

For people need the Lord

People need the Lord

People need the Lord
