The world is in a trail full of misery
Men crying peace where there is no peace
People are chasing alleusive heist
And dying in the street
The poor are still over rest
The rich are filled with greed oh my lord
There is a need for your love
I must lend a helping hand and be
A witness the best that I can and be an example
Spreading light across the land
Like a city that's on a hill
For the truth must be revealed oh lord
There is a need for your love
Chorus
Lord Jesus help me to help somebody else
A soul is crying out the day for those who do not know it
It is my desire to be a shining light
So the world might see in me the love of Christ
So the world might see in me the love
The wonderful love the sweet love of Christ
Verse 2
The laws of men denouncing the truth
They even taking prayer out the classroom
A world of unbelief capturing hearts yearning to be free
Lord touch the hearts of men and bring them back again
Oh lord there is a need for your love
The harvest is right but the labor is few we got to spread
The gospel do all that we can do the time is now
The day is yet at hand there is a need for your love
Chorus
Bridge
There's a man who lost his way there's a woman
Who's gone astray there's a hungry child to feed
Vamp
What the world needs now is the love of Jesus
What the world needs now (repeat)
