Everyday they pass me by
I can see it in their eye
Empty people filled with care
Headed who knows whereOn they go through private pain
Living fear to fear
Laughter hides the silent cries
Only Jesus hearsPeople need the Lord
People need the Lord
At the end of broken dreams
He's the open doorPeople need the Lord
People need the Lord
When will we realize
People need the LordWe are called to take His light
To a world where wrong is rightWhat 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 sharePeople need the Lord
People need the Lord
At the end of broken dreams
He's the open doorPeople 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
