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 pain

Living fear to fear

Laughter hides their silent cries

Only Jesus hears 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 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, people need the Lord

When will we realize that we must give our lives?

For people need the Lord, people need the Lord
