The Medicine

Lyrics

[Intro] Ooh Yeah [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] '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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] '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 [Bridge] 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 [Outro] We need you Turn it over and over Lord, come and have your way We need you now
