[Verse 1]
Bm F#7/A# Bm
There's a sickness here that threatens to divide us
Bm F#7/A# Bm
And we're all afraid to say its name out loud
G D/F#
But Lord, I know that you can heal us of the virus
  E/G#    Em
D C#m7b5
So we need you, we need you right now

[Verse 2]
Bm F#7/A# Bm
There's a darkness here that's dangerous and aggressive
Bm F#7/A# Bm
It gets harder everyday to shake its power
G D/F#
Lord, I know that you can free us from oppression
E/G# Em/A D
But we need you, we need you right now

[Chorus 1]
F#7 F#/A# Bm
'Cause we don't know what to do
G Edim7 D/A
So we turn our eyes to you
F#7 F#7/A# Bm
And we've run out of words to say
G Edim7 D/A
If you come and have your way
F#7/A# F#7/C# Bm
Oh, you can save us from ourselves
G A/G D/F#
Before our wounds hurt someone else
E/G# G/A F#7/A#
We need you now

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Bm F#7/A# Bm
What does it mean to have compassion for another?
Bm F#7/A# Bm
How can I claim to love a God that I can't see
G D/F#
If I can find the will to harm and kill my brother
E/G# G/A F#7/A#
'Cause he neglected to look like me?

[Verse 4]
Bm F#7/A# Bm/D
I can speak the words of men and songs of angels
Bm F#7/A# Bm
I can give all my possessions to the poor
G D/F#
But if your love can't move the mountain of my hatred
E/G# G/A D
Somehow I missed you, and I need you so much more

[Chorus 2]
F#7 F#7/A# Bm
'Cause we don't know what to do
G Edim7 D/A
So I turn my eyes to you
F#7 F#7/A# Bm
And I've run out of words to say
G Edim7 D/A
But if you come and have your way
F#7/A# F#7/C# Bm
So won't you save me from myself
G A/G D/F#
Before my wounds hurt someone else
E/G# G/A
I need you now
D
We need you now

[Chorus 3]
F#7 F#7/A# Bm
'Cause we don't we don't know what to do Lord
G Edim7 D/A
So we turn our eyes to you
F#7 F#7/A# Bm
And we've run out of words to say
G Edim7 D/A
You can come and have your way
F#7/A F#7/C# Bm
Would you save us from ourselves
G A/G D/F#
Before our wounds hurt someone else
E/G#
We need you
G/A
Take us in your hands
D
We need you now now
