[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

[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
