There’s a sickness here that threatens to divide us
We’re all afraid to say its name out loud
But Lord I know that you can heal us of the virus
So we need You, we need You right now
There’s a darkness here that’s dangerous and aggressive
Getting harder everyday to shake it’s pow’r
But Lord I know that you can heal us from oppression
Lord we need You, we need You right now
What does it mean to have compassion for another
How can I claim to love a God that I can’t see
If I can find the will to harm and kill my brother
Cuz he neglected to look like me
I can speak the words of men and songs of angels
I can give all my possessions to the poor
But if Your love can’t move the mountain of my hatred
Somehow I missed You and I need you so much more
Cuz I/we don’t know what to do
So I turn my eyes to you
I’ve/we’ve run out of words to say
But if you come and have your way
You can save me/us from myself/ourselves
Before our wounds, wound someone else
We need you now
