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 pair
Living fear to fear

Laughter hides their 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 they 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

When will they realize
That we must give our lives
For people need the Lord

People need the Lord
People need the Lord
