Verse 1

When our homes are hit by heartbreak

Let Your presence meet us there

When the pain seems overwhelming

We hold on to You


Verse 2

When the streets are torn by chaos

We will be Your hands and feet

When the darkness brings division

May we be Your light


Chorus

We know our world needs Jesus

We know our world needs freedom

So give us eyes to see the hurting and the broken

Let our lives align with every word You say


Verse 3

When the nations ache from violence

We will be Your blessed peace

When the headlines scream injustice

May we shout Your name


Bridge

Let every heart turn to Jesus

Let every voice sing of Your great Name

Let all the earth know Your freedom

We believe for more


Chorus 2

I know I need You Jesus

I know this heart needs healing 

So from my knees I lift this prayer to You, my Savior

For my life and for the world, You?re the answer

Jesus
