Casting Crowns-What This World Needs

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 in not
Another sign waving super saint that'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 her heart before He changes her 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

[spoken]
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, or 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 Saviour
That's what this world needs
Father's arms around you
That's what this world needs
That's what this world needs

[laceyinheat]

@MEOWalina My favorite also

[MrJackhiggens]

in your details its "What this world needs is not another sign waving super saint." instead of "is" you put "in".

[laceyinheat]

@MrJackhiggens whoops sorry about that. I didn't realize that. Thanks for telling me. God bless

[sportsygirl8]

@MrJackhiggens LOVE LOVE LOVE THE SONG UNTIL THE WHOLE WORLD HEARS!!!!! I also love East to West and Slow Fade.

[basicaa]

If Jesus is the revelation of the heart of God, it's very good news about the nature of God.

[Pandaloversss]

This. Song. Is . AWESOME!!!!!

[MyNickdanger]

@bluecrew100 I Think it means that we should tell people about Jesus Christ, Then Move On. Just Plant The Seed In Them! We Don't Choose God, God Chose Us! From The Start! Plant The Seed and Live By Example! Peace and Love! Nick

Know this some don't fully understand what this song is saying, this song isn't meant for us to hate the world but to be the calling for people that are lost if people are broken let us lead them to the ONLY ONE that can repair them, mend them, Love them. LET US BE THE HANDS AND FEET OF OUR LORD SHOW NOT ANGER BUT LOVE OUR GOD CALLING TO HIS CHILDREN LETS LEAD THE LOST CHILDREN BACK TO THE LOVING FATHER!

[bluecrew100]

This is true, this world needs Jesus. But what I don't understand is the bridge. Why is the best thing for us to get out of the way? Aren't we suppose to go unto the world preaching the name of Jesus? Also, "We can't strap ourselves to the Gospel?" Isn't Jesus Christ the Gospel? That doesn't make sense. I love Casting Crowns, but I am just a little confused here.
