"What This World Needs"

by Casting Crowns
Album: The Altar And The Door Live CD/DVD

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 n-eeds
Is a Savior who will rescue
A Spirit who will lead
A Father who will l-ove them, in their time of n-eed
A Savior who will rescue
A Spirit who will lead
A Father who will l-ove
That's what this world n-eeds

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
That God's gotta change her heart before He changes her shirt
What this world n-eeds
Is for us to stop hiding behind our relevance
Blending is so well that people can't see the difference
And it's the difference that sets the world free

~Chorus~

(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 gospels
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~
Jesus is our Savior
That's what this world n-eeds
Father's arms around you
That's what this world n-eeds
That's what this world n-eeds
