People Need Jesus

Intro

Oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

I chased a paycheck down a dead-end street

Working weekends just to barely survive

Every promotion left me emptier still

Nickel and dimed till I forgot I was alive

Traded my mornings for a company car

Traded my Sundays for a little more pay

They called it freedom but it felt like a cage

Pre-Chorus

Then I heard a voice that said come home

Then I heard a name that set me free

Chorus

We need the Lord

We need the Lord

Nothing here could ever fill this hole

We need the Lord

We need the Lord

He is the anchor for my weary soul

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Praise him

Oh-oh

Verse 2

I jumped from job to job like a stone skipped on water

Never staying long enough to belong

Modern day slave to a number on a screen

Singing somebody else's tired old song

But grace found me in a quiet room

Grace found me on my knees

Pre-Chorus

Now I keep my eyes on things above

Now I keep my heart in perfect peace

Chorus

We need the Lord

We need the Lord

Nothing here could ever fill this hole

We need the Lord

We need the Lord

He is the anchor for my weary soul

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Praise him

Oh-oh

Bridge

You keep him in perfect peace

Whose mind is stayed on you

You keep him in perfect peace

Whose mind is stayed on you

I trust you

I trust you

Verse 3

So I laid my trophies at the altar

Every ribbon every raise every plan

Traded the ladder for a narrow road

Traded the hustle for a nail-scarred hand

Now I walk with a peace from heaven

Now I walk where the weary find rest

Chorus

We need the Lord

We need the Lord

Nothing here could ever fill this hole

We need the Lord

We need the Lord

He is the anchor for my weary soul

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Praise him

Oh-oh

Praise him
