The world is in travail full of misery
Men crying peace where there is no peace
People are chasing elusive highs
Dying in the street
The poor are still oppressed
The rich are filled with greed
Oh, my Lord, there is a need for your love

I must lend a helping hand
And be a witness the best that I can
And be an example
Spreading light across the land
Like a city that's on a hill
For the truth must be revеaled
Oh, Lord there is a need for Your lovе

Lord Jesus, help me, to help somebody else
(Help me, you gotta help somebody)
A soul is crying out today
For those who do not know the way
It is my desire to be a shining light
So the world might see in me the love of Christ
(I want the world to see)
So the world might see in me the love, the love
The wonderful love the sweet love of Christ
The laws of men denouncing the truth
They've even taken prayer out the classroom
A world of unbelief
Captive hearts yearning to be free
Lord, touch the hearts of men
And bring them back again
Oh, Lord, there is a need for Your love

The harvest is right
But the labor is few
We got to spread the gospel
Do all that we can do
For the time is now
The day is now at hand
There is a need for Your love
Your love, Your love

Lord Jesus, help me, to help somebody else
(Help me, I wanna help somebody)
A soul is crying out today
For those who do not know the way
It is my desire to be a shining light
So the world might see in me the love of Christ
(So that the world may see)
So the world might see in me
What the world needs now
(Is Your love)
Is the love of Jesus
What the world needs now
They need the love
They need the love

What the world needs now
(Whoa...)
Is the love of Jesus
(Oh, what the world needs now)
What the world needs now
A dying soul is crying out

What the world needs now
(Your love)
Is the love of Jesus
What the world needs now
(Yes)

There's a man who's lost his way
There's a woman who has gone astray
There's a hungry child to feed
Lord, what we really need, yeah

What the world needs now
(Your love)
Is the love of Jesus
(I'm gonna, I'm gonna)
What the world needs now
(Help somebody, help somebody, yes)
What the world needs now
Is the love of Jesus
What the world needs now...
