01. What This World Needs

The Altar and The Door
by 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
A 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

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


(Mark Hall, Hector Cervantes) Special guests – Gunnar Miller, Madison Miller, Logan Miller, Tripp Weir © 2007 My Refuge Music/Club Zoo Music/SWECS Music (BMI) (admin. by EMI CMG Publishing)

Behind the Song:
"Galatians is the main basis for this song. False teachers were slipping in and adding to the Gospel. Jesus + being good = the believer’s life. Paul builds in a foundation for the Galatian people that it is by faith in Jesus that we are saved. Even today, we, the church, are in danger of adding to the Gospel. Jesus plus my denomination. Jesus plus our style of worship. Jesus plus good behavior. We must be careful not to strap ourselves to the Gospel. ~2 Corinthians 6:3-13 / Colossians 1:13-23 / John 17 / Romans 12:9-21 / Matthew 7:1-3 / John 7:24 / Romans 16:17-19 / Philippians 3:18-20"

"“What This World Needs” has a bit of a venting moment, a rant…more rock than anything we’ve done before… It’s about the fact that the gospel is not confusing people; we’re the ones who confuse people. Christians staple so much stuff to what Jesus says like ‘You can’t dress like that or use that version of the Bible.’ But we have to remember that God has to change people’s hearts before they can change their shirts. They need Jesus, and we need to get out of the way." - Mark Hall (Casting Crowns)
