We need the sunshine to warm a summer breeze,
We need the showers for thirsty flow'rs and trees,
We need a little rest and labor,
The love of friend and neighbor,
But there's one thing we need far more than them;
Above all else, the world needs Jesus,
As shadows fall and hopes grow dim;
For He can lift a soul from dark despair,
save from sin and answer pray’r,
There is not another friend like Jesus!
Above all else, the world needs Jesus,
As shadows fall and hopes grow dim.
