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
Livin' 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 sharin' life
with one who's lost
Through his eyes
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
