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 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 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 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 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)
