[Spoken Intro]
Lord, look at us.
We built this world with shaking hands.
We need You now.
[Verse 1]
Sirens split the morning
Kids in the checkout line
Phones lit up with bad news
At the red light, every time
Mothers hide their faces
Fathers bite their rage
We keep feeding monsters
Then we call it just a phase
[Pre-Chorus]
If mercy still has a name
Say it over this mess
If Heaven’s still listening
We’re down on our knees, I guess
[Chorus]
We need You, God
We need You, God
Break this hard ground now
Bring Your light down
[Verse 2]
Pride sits in the pulpit
Fear sits at the door
Everybody’s shouting
But nobody’s asking more
Hands full of our own smoke
Minds split at the seam
We keep chasing power
And losing what we need
[Pre-Chorus]
If mercy still has a name
Say it over this mess
If Heaven’s still listening
We’re down on our knees, I guess
[Chorus]
We need You, God
We need You, God
Heal these broken hearts now
Bring Your fire down
(We need You, God)
[Verse 3]
I’ve got blood on my conscience
And dust on my shoes
I’ve seen good men fold up
I’ve seen whole homes bruise
Still, You reach for prodigals
Still, You hear our cry
When the world goes feral
You’re the steady in the night
[Pre-Chorus]
If mercy still has a name
Say it over this mess
If Heaven’s still listening
We’re down on our knees, I guess
[Chorus]
We need You, God
We need You, God
Save this wandering world now
Raise the dead inside
(We need You, God)
(We need You, God)
[Bridge]
Come back to the altar
Come back to the Son
Every shattered nation
Every lost one, come
We are dust and longing
You are holy, strong
Make us new in the ruins
Till the whole earth sings along
[Chorus]
We need You, God
We need You, God
Hold this cursed earth now
Make us whole again
(We need You, God)
(We need You, God)
We need You, God
[Spoken Outro]
So here we are.
Not polished.
Not proud.
Just desperate.
We need You, God.
