We Need You, Lord

Now, more than ever, we need You, Lord
The bonds have seemed to sever here, Oh Lord
And we need Your Saving Grace
I see the pain in every face
Now, more than ever, we need You, Lord

Today, more than yesterday, Oh Lord
We have always dreamed of better days, Oh Lord
You promised us one day 
You'd come back, it'd be okay...
Now, more than ever, we need You Lord

Everywhere we turn
Another fate has fallen, a voice is callin
Every day we see
All the violence, but in our defense
We know what's wrong from right
But some keep falling from the light
Oh now, more than ever, we need You, Lord

All the people are crying for their Lord
More and more people are dying here, Oh Lord
Cold blood still seems to reign
And we hear the memories of the slain
Oh now, more than ever, we need You, Lord

Prayers are offered up to You, Oh Lord
We hand our blood-stained cup to you, Oh Lord
We know it overflows
And yet it seems our sorrow grows
Oh now, more than ever, we need You, Lord

Everywhere we turn
Another fate has fallen, a voice is callin
Every day we see
All the violence, but in our defense
We know what's wrong from right
But some keep falling from the light
Oh now, more than ever, we need You, Lord

We'll strive to stay together here, Oh Lord
No friends are here fair weather, but Oh Lord
We need your healing touch
To heal our hearts, we need so much
And we'll give you all we have down here, Dear Lord

But now, more than ever, we need You, Lord
