What This World Needs (The Altar and the Door 2007)

Текст песни Casting Crowns - What This World Needs (The Altar and the Door 2007)

[Verse 1]
What this world needs
Is not another one hit wonder with an axe to grind
Another two bit politician peddling lies
Another three ring circus society
What this world needs
Is not another sign waving super saint that's better than you
Another ear pleasing candy man afraid of the truth
Another prophet in an Armani suit

[Chorus]
What this world needs
Is a savior who will rescue
A spirit who will lead
A father who will love them in their time of need
A savior who will rescue
A spirit who will lead
A father who will love
That's what this world needs

[Verse 2]
What this world needs
Is for us to care more about the inside than the outside
Have we become so blind that we can't see
God's gotta change her heart before he changes her shirt
What this world needs
Is for us to stop hiding behind our irrelevance
Blending in so well that people can't see the difference
And it's the difference that sets the world free
[Chorus]
What this world needs
Is a savior who will rescue
A spirit who will lead
A father who will love them in their time of need
A savior who will rescue
A spirit who will lead
A father who will love
That's what this world needs

[Bridge (spoken)]
People aren't confused by the gospel, they're confused by us
Jesus is the only way to God, but we are not the only way to Jesus
This world doesn't need my tie, my hoodie
My denomination or my translation of the Bible
They just need Jesus
We can be passionate about what we believe
But we can't strap ourselves to the gospel
Because we're slowing it down
Jesus is going to save the world
But maybe the best thing we can do
Is just get out of the way

[Chorus]
What this world needs
Is a savior who will rescue
A spirit who will lead
A father who will love them in their time of need
A savior who will rescue
A spirit who will lead
A father who will love
That's what this world needs
Jesus is our savior, that's what this world needs
Father's arms around you, that's what this world needs
That's what this world needs
