My wife just told me that she had just heard this new song by Casting Crowns. I looked for it on YouTube hoping to get to hear the whole thing. Luckily it was there but it’s just the audio, no video.
The lyrics are powerful and in-your-face, which reminds me a lot of what I’ve been liking about Todd Agnew.
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 societyWhat this world needs is 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 suitWhat 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 needsWhat 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 relevanceBlending in so well that people can’t see the difference
And it’s the difference that sets the world free
Jesus is our Savior, that’s what this world needs
Father’s arms around you, that’s what this world needs
That’s what this world needs
In the middle of the song there’s a section of spoken words with different people sharing even more ways that we need to get out of the way and just share who God is and let Him be Him and do the work.
