What This World Needs Songtext
von Casting Crowns

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

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
The 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 her heart before He changes her 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
The 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 passionate about 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 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
The 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
