Everyday they pass me by, I can see it in their eye; Empty people filled with care, Headed who knows where. On they go through private pain, Living fear to fear; Laughter hides the 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 we realize People need the Lord.
We are called to take His light To a world where wrong is 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, People need the Lord; When will we realize That we must give our lives, For people need the Lord. People need the Lord.
