Everyday they pass me by,
I can see it in their eyes. Empty people filled with care, Headed who knows where? On they go through private pain, Living fear to fear. Laughter hides their silent cries, Only Jesus hears. People need the Lord, people need the Lord. At the end of broken dreams, He's the open door. People need the Lord, people need the Lord. When will we realize, people need the Lord? We are called to take His light To a world where wrong seems right. What could be too great a cost For sharing Life with one who's lost? Through His love our hearts can feel All the grief they bear. They must hear the Words of Life Only we can share. People need the Lord, people need the Lord At the end of broken dreams, He's the open door. People need the Lord, people need the Lord. When will we realize that we must give our lives, For peo-ple need the Lord. People need the Lord.  submitted by Shelly corrected by Ernest "eazy" Zita on 22-02-2011 |

 3 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I do believe that people need the Lord, now more than ever. This is an amazing piece of music that I will attempt this weekend at Church, if my Choir Director thinks I can pull it off. I love to sing! I have COPD and many other problems with my health. To let such a beautiful song be unexplored with my attempt and the Lord giving me the breath needed for it would be very wrong. My ratings have no reflection on the artist. Mainly just the instruments and parts of the rhythm are just not how I see it in my mind.  |

 1 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Dear Gandolf I challenge you to one simple task if you don't mind. Get a Bible & read it. Anywhere you choose. This will be all the proof you need to know that the lyrics to this song....are very true. It happened in my life, and it can happen...if you want to make a difference in YOUR life. Please do not misunderstand me....not trying to make you feel bad here.......I am simply relating to you that I was also skeptical, untrusting, and thought I had all the answers too. Then...the love of God through Jesus touched my life, and He has given me protection and happiness ever since. If I told you my past...you would probably be shocked. Every single bad thing that could happen in a person's life...well, that was mine. But I opened my mind, and checked things out...and gave it a shot. All He wants you to do is believe. It's a very simple thing. No hard rules to follow, nothing physically challenging in it....just believe in Him, and He truly will give you a life that you never believed could ever be true!!!!! Choose life!!!! |

1 posts | Hi Gandolf. I don't know what your personal or political beliefs are, but to use the word "pietistic" is a bit far-fetched. It's hard to understand one's tone of voice and true intentions when we're dealing with blogs, IM's, emails, etc...From what I read, my inclination is that you think the lyrics to "People need the Lord" are agenda-based, and possibly judgemental (i.e. Christians attempting to PUSH their faith on others). I could be wrong, and if I am, please explain to me exactly what you mean by "pietistic"...
After hearing this song, I can't help but to feel that I was so moved by not only the great singing voice and instrumentation, but I needed to hear it again. Normally, I move to a next song or a new thought, but this catchy little tune grabbed me. It made me want to dig deeper and try to understand what the writer was thinking when he wrote those words. I then read the lyrics alone, sans musique. After reading the words I realized that the person who wrote this went through a profound, personal experience. He wasn't being "preachy!" At least, that wasn't how I felt, trying to approach it from an open mind. My guess is that Ray Boltz probably felt some sort of conviction, and relentlessness, that he needed to not only write down his thoughts, but also, he sensed urgency in that he wanted people to know what he was going through, and he felt a sense of hope. It's that question, "What if?" And if "it" happens, I almost want to experience it." Maybe he, the songwriter, wanted his loved ones to know what he went through, and his closest friends, his aquaintances....then, what the heck, everyone else. Who knows? My response is, I love the "reality" and conviction of the person who wrote this song, and my guess is that he expects that people are going to be slightly offended, and possibly pissed off. And, why not? I love being inspired by people's convictions! Is this enough to stir up controversy? Maybe, maybe not, but I love the boldness, and I love it when a person creates something that makes people think, especially when there may be some truth in it... SS. |

1 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Are you who like this song aware that the lyrics are strongly "pietistic"? Or don't you know what that means? Pietism is not "do-good-ism" altho it may sound as though it means that. Pietism is the mistaken belief that FEELINGS are the center and foundation of Christianity. Do you really believe that how you feel---how other people feel---is the ground on which God looks upon you? That is just silly. You are afflicted with the idea that Christianity is a "feel-good" religion if you approve of pietistic nonsense. The lyrics of this song say, basically, that if you feel bad (because of dreams which didn't come true, or bad experiences) then you should turn to Jesus, who will make you feel good! Are you actually gullible enough to mistake that foolishness for the Christian Gospel? I sincerely hope not. Pay attention to the content of what you hear being sung; consider whether the lyrics are really true, or not. These lyrics are faulty, and misleading. Look elsewhere for Christian affirmations.
