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' who's better than you Another ear-pleasing candy man afraid of the truth Another prophet in an Armani suite 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 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 your heart before he changes a shirt What this world needs Is for us to stop hiding behind our relevance Blending in so well that people can't see the difference And it's the difference that sets the world free 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 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 pa**ionate about what we believe But we can't strap ourselves to the gospel 'Cause 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 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 The fathers arms around you That's what this world needs That's what this world needs
