The Medicine - Common Hymnal, Dee Wilson, Alex Aiono

Ooh

Yeah

There’s a sickness here that threatens to divide us

And 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

It gets harder everyday to shake its power

Lord, I know that you can free us from oppression

But we need you, we need you right now

'Cause we don’t know what to do

So we turn our eyes to you

And we’ve run out of words to say

If you come and have your way

Oh, you can save us from ourselves

Before our wounds hurt someone else

We need you 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

'Cause he neglected to look like me?

I can speak the words of men and songs of angels

I can lend 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

'Cause we don’t know what to do

So we turn our eyes to you

And we’ve run out of words to say

Oh, you can come and have your way

You can save me from myself

Before my wounds hurt someone else

I need you now, hey

We don’t know what to do

So we turn our eyes to you

We’ve run out of words to say

Lord, please come and have your way

Oh, won’t you come and save me from myself

Before I hurt someone else

I need

I need

Oh, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you now

We need you now

Oh God, we need a miracle

Oh Lord, we need you now

Miracle like you did for my mother

We need a miracle like you did for my father

We need you

Turn it over and over

Lord, come and have your way

We need you now
