They need Christ

There are people living in the world out there
They need you, they need me, they need Christ
There are children crying and no one to care
They need you, they need me, they need Christ

And they’ll go on hurting in the world out there
And they’ll go on dying, drowning in despair
And they’ll go on crying, that’s unless we care!
They need you, they need me, they need Christ

There are people living who would rather die
They need you, they need me, they need Christ
And their Christian neighbours simply pass them by
They need you, they need me, they need Christ

There are people sitting by a silent phone
People cold and hungry, people left alone,
Suicides for reasons that remain unknown
They need you, they need me, they need Christ

There are runaways who want a place to go
They need you, they need me, they need Christ
There are alcoholics who don't seem to know...
They need you, they need me, they need Christ

There are godless people who have lost their way,
And they need God's love but they're afraid to say
If we close our eyes perhaps they'll go away
Without you, without me, without Christ
Without you, without me, without Christ.
