Casting Crowns - What This World Needs





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

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 your 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

Chorus

Bridge:
People are not confused by the Gospel – they are confused by us
Jesus is the only way to God – but we are not the only way to Jesus
This world does not need my tithe, my hoodie, my denomination or my translation of the Bible – they need Jesus
We can be passionate of what we believe – but we can’t strap ourselves to the Gospel because we are slowing it down
Jesus is going to save the world – but maybe the best thing we can do is get out of the way

Chorus

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
