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
