[Verse 1]
A             Amaj7   A6
Everyday they pass me by
A            Amaj7    A6
I can see it in their eyes
A/C#         F#m9
Empty people filled with care
Bm7              E
Headed who knows where
A                  Amaj7   A6
On they go through private pain
Em     A/C#   D
Living fear     to fear
Dm                   A/C#
Laughter hides their silent cries
Bm7        E
Only Jesus hears

[Chorus 1]
A               Bm7    A/C#            D
People need the Lord,  people need the Lord
E      D      A/C#   D       Bm7           E
At the end of broken dreams, He's the open door
A               Bm7   A/C#            D
People need the Lord, people need the Lord
E    D       A/C#  D      Bm7    E        A
When will we rea - lize;  people need the Lord?

[Verse 2]
A                Amaj7    A6
We are called to take His light
A                Amaj7       A6
To a world where wrong seems right
A/C#              F#m9
What could be too great a cost
Bm7                   E
For sharing life with one who's lost?
A                    Amaj7      A6
Through His love our hearts can feel
Em      A/C#       D
All the grief they bear
Dm                 A/C#
They must hear the words of life
Bm7         E
Only we can share

[Chorus 2]
A               Bm7    A/C#            D
People need the Lord,  people need the Lord
E      D      A/C#   D       Bm7           E
At the end of broken dreams, He's the open door
A               Bm7   A/C#            D
People need the Lord, people need the Lord
E    D       A/C#      D          E      D       A/C#     D
When will we rea   -   lize;        that we must give our lives?
Bm7        E        F#m  Bm7
For people need the Lord,
Bm7    E        A
people need the Lord
