People Need The Lord 

C             G       F   C            G
Everyday they pass me by, I can see it in their eyes.
Em           Am                Dm                G7
Empty people filled with care, headed who knows where.
C                   G       F    C7               F
On they go through private pain, living fear to fear,
Dm7                   C          F      Dm7    G7
Laughter hides their silent cries, only Jesus hears.

        C               Dm7    C               F
      People need the Lord, people need the Lord.
        G               C          Dm7              G
      At the end of broken dreams, He's the open door.
        C               Dm7    C               F
      People need the Lord, people need the Lord.
        G             C       Dm7      G7       C
      When will we realize...people need the Lord?

We are called to take His light to a world where wrong seems right.
What would be too great a cost for sharing life with one who's lost.
Thorough His love our hearts can feel all the grief they bear.
They must hear the words of life only we can share.

G             C
That we must give our lives for
Dm7     G7        Am Dm7     G7        C
People need the Lord, people need the Lord.

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 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 would 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.
