What This World Needs

What this world needs has been and still continues to be offered to the world…The world needs Christ to reign supreme in each and every person! The apostle Paul says that He was chosen by God to proclaim the complete word of God: “the secret which has been concealed from the eons and from the generations, yet now was made manifest to His saints, to whom God wills to make known what are the glorious riches of this secret among the nations, which is: Christ among you, the expectation of glory…the Way, the Truth, and the Life”. (Colossians 1:26-27, John 14:6)


Feeling like you’ve lost your way in the cares of this earthly world? Christ will show you THE way to go and will walk with you every step of that way.


Feeling like you don’t know what the truth is anymore? Christ will reveal THE truth to you.


Feeling like the life you are living is really no life at all? Christ will give you THE life you could have never imagined; He was sent to us and came to us so that we would have ABUNDANT life.


What this world needs, the world just needs to grab a hold of and benefit from. It’s all there for the taking. We do have:


a Savior who rescues
a Spirit who leads
a Father who loves

The world needs to stop looking for earthly things that will never satisfy and man-made solutions that will never make a true, lasting change. Simply, CHRIST IS THE answer.


What this world needs and craves is the fulfillment of Christ reigning among and within us. What a truly different world this would be!

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 thinks he'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 your heart before He changes a 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

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

People aren’t confused by the gospel
They’re confused by us

Jesus is the only way to God
But we are not the only way to Jesus

This world doesn’t need my tie, my hoodie
My denomination or my translation of the Bible

They just need Jesus
We can be passionate about what we believe
But we can’t strap ourselves to the gospel
‘Cause we’re slowing it down

Jesus IS going to save the world
But maybe the best thing we can do
Is just get out of the way

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

Jesus IS our Savior
That's what this world needs
The Father's arms around you
That's what this world needs
That's what this world needs


For HIS praise, in HIS strength, and for HIS glory…
