Everyday they pass me by I can see it in their eye
Empty people filled with care Headed who knows where
On they go through private pain Living fear to fear
Laughter hides the silent cries Only Jesus hears

Chorus:
People need the Lord People need the Lord
At the end of broken dreams He's the open door
People need the Lord People need the Lord
When will we realize People need the Lord

We are called to take His light To a world where wrong seems right
What could be too great a cost For sharing life with one who's lost
Through His love our hearts can feel All the grief they bear
They must hear the words of life Only we can share

Chorus

Behind the Song:
"This song convicts me because it is a reminder that we are all searching. Christians and non-Christians alike, all of us need the Lord. We can search for satisfaction in many things, but we will never find it! Not until we find Him, Jesus! And while we are blessed to have Jesus in our lives, we were also made to share Him. Not to keep Him all to ourselves. What a reminder why we do what we do!" — Melissa Greene (Avalon)
