Here I cry, Lord we pray
Our faces down, our hands are raised
You called us out, we turned away, we've turned away
With shipwrecked faith, the idols rise
We do what is right, in our own eyes
Our children now, will pay the price
We need Your light, Lord, shine Your light
If we've ever needed You, Lord, it's now, Lord, it's now
We are desperate for Your hand, we're reachin' out, we're reachin' out
All our hearts, all our strength
With all our minds, we're at Your feet
May Your Kingdom come, in our hearts and lives
Let Your Church arise, let Your Church arise
If we've ever needed You, Lord, it's now, Lord, it's now
We are desperate for Your hand, we're reachin' out, we're reachin' out, we're reachin' out
If we've ever needed You, Lord, it's now, Lord, it's now
We're are desperate for Your hand, we're reachin' out, we're reachin' out
If we've ever needed You, Lord, it's now, Lord, it's now
We are desperate for Your hand, we're reachin' out, we're reachin' out
We need You now
Revive us now
We need You now
