SONG LYRICS

4. When I needed a shelter, Were you there, were you there? When I needed a shelter, were you there?

5. When I needed a healer, Were you there, were you there? When I needed a healer, were you there?

6.Wherever you travel, I'll be there, I'll be there, Wherever you travel, I'll be there.

And the creed and the colour And the name won't matter, I'll be there.

1. There are people hurting In the world out there.

They need you, they need me, they need Christ. There are children crying and no one to care. They need you, they need me, they need Christ. And they'll go on hurting In the world out there, And they'll go on dying, drowning in despair, And they'll go on crying, that's unless we care! They need you, they need me, they need Christ.

2. There are people living who would rather die. They need you, they need me, they need Christ. And their Christian neighbours Simply pass them by!

They need you, they need me, they need Christ. There are people sitting by a silent phone, People cold and hungry, people left alone, Suicides for reasons that remain unknown. They need you, they need me, they need Christ.

3. There's the prostitute, And there's the pris'ner too. They need you, they need me, they need Christ. There's the skid row fella who won't look at you. They need you, they need me, they need Christ. The compulsive gambler dreaming of his yacht, And the lad that's stealing just to get his ‘shot', And the girl that's pregnant And pretends she's not. They need you, they need me, they need Christ.

4. There are runaways who want a place to go. They need you, they need me, they need Christ. There are alcoholics who don't seem to know. They need you, they need me, they need Christ. There are godless people Who have lost their way, And they need God's love But they're afraid to say. If we close our eyes perhaps they'll go away Without you, without me, without Christ.

Sasb 819

1.

O Church, arise, and put your armour on; Hear the call of Christ our Captain. For now the weak can say that they are strong In the strength that God has given. With shield of faith and belt of truth, We’ll stand against the devil’s lies; An army bold, whose battle-cry is Love, Reaching out to those in darkness.

2.

Our call to war, to love the captive soul But to rage against the captor; And with the sword that makes the wounded whole, We will fight with faith and valour. When faced with trials on every side We know the outcome is secure, And Christ will have the prize for which He died, An inheritance of nations.

3.

Come see the cross, where love and mercy meet, As the Son of God is stricken; Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet, For the Conqueror has risen! And as the stone is rolled away, And Christ emerges from the grave, This victory march continues till the day Every eye and heart shall see Him.

4.

So Spirit, come put strength in every stride, Give grace for every hurdle, That we may run with faith to win the prize Of a servant good and faithful. As saints of old still line the way, Retelling triumphs of His grace, We hear their calls and hunger for the day When with Christ we stand in glory.
