This Is Why I Need You Lord

So much negativity surrounds us today
People living their lives in fear
Homeless seeking shelter somewhere safe
Please Lord show me that you care
Unemployment is rising people are losing their jobs
Crime rates on a never before seen high
Health is on the decline with so many sick
I really need you lord and this is why
People are starving malnutrition's more common
The world is suffering before our eyes
Show us all and lead the way
Please help the ill before any more dies
Such a happier place this world could be
If everyone just had a warm bed to sleep
Lets put a smile upon the faces of all
Please Lord their dignity let them keep
