Am Em What this world needs is not another F G one-hit-wonder with an axe to grind Am C Another two-bit politician peddling lies Dm F Another three ring circus society Am C What this world needs is not another F G sign waving "super saint that's better than you" Am C Another ear pleasing candy man afraid of the truth Dm F Another prophet in an Armani Suit Chorus: F Dm G What this world needs is a savior who will rescue Am F A spirit who will lead Dm G Am F A Father who will love them in their time of need Dm G A Savior who will rescue Am F A Spirit who will lead G A Father who will love Am That's what this world needs What this world needs Is for us to care more about the inside than the outside Have we become so blind that we can't see God's gotta change her heart before he changes her shirt What this world needs Is for us to stop hiding behind our irrelevance Blending in so well that people can't see the difference And it's the difference that sets the world free Chorus People aren't confused by the gospel, they're confused by us Jesus is the only way to God, but we are not the only way to Jesus This world doesn't need my tie, my hoodie My denomination or my translation of the Bible They just need Jesus We can be passionate about what we believe But we can't strap ourselves to the gospel Because we're slowing it down Jesus is going to save the world But maybe the best thing we can do Is just get out of the way Chorus: What this world needs Is a savior who will rescue A spirit who will lead A father who will love them in their time of need A savior who will rescue A spirit who will lead A father who will love That's what this world needs Jesus is our savior, that's what this world needs Father's arms around you, that's what this world needs That's what this world needs You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  Dm  Em  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
