The World Needs Jesus Songtext
von Malcolm & Alwyn

In the midst of a suffering world
Heavy with sorrow and grief
Oh, what a mess
Like a ship that is sinkin′ to its doom
Losing its treasure
Oh, where can a young life turn

On an earth that has travelled to the moon
I still see hurtful wrong and
I don't need to look far
Times are comin′ when you won't have any food
And I know for sure that your money
It don't take you very far

Oh,
The world needs Jesus
Ooh


There′s the Protestants and the Catholics
Both havin′ themselves a war
And the world looks on and wonders
What for
But my Lord, He brings His message
So true and so clear
But there's so much confusion
It brings me many times to tears

Oh,
The church needs Jesus
Ooh

It′s a sad, sorry sight
For the eyes of my Lord
To see young people being taken
It hurts me when I see
There's so much goin′ wrong
And yet I, myself
I don't change many things at all

Oh,
I need Jesus
Ooh
