There’s a sickness here that threatens to divide us And we’re all afraid to say its name out loud But Lord, I know that you can heal us of the virus So, we need you, we need you right now
There’s a darkness here that’s dangerous and aggressive It gets harder every day to shake its power Lord, I know that you can free us from oppression But we need you, we need you right now
Cause we don’t know what to do So, we turn our eyes to you And we’ve run out of words to say But if you come and have your way You can save us from ourselves Before our wound hurt someone else We need you now
What does it mean to have compassion for another? How can I claim to love a God that I can’t see? If I can find the will to harm and kill my brother Cause he neglected to look like me
I can speak the words of men and songs of angels I can lend all my possessions to the poor But if your love can’t move the mountain of my hatred Somehow, I missed you and I need you so much more
Cause we don’t know what to do So, we turn our eyes to you And we’ve run out of words to say You can come and have your way You can save me from myself Before my wounds hurt someone else I need you now
We don’t know what to do So, we turn our eyes to you We’ve run out of words to say Please come and have your way Won’t you come and save me from myself Before I hurt someone else I need you now We need you now
