|////|////|////|////|/Ev’ryday they…|
G               D       C 
  Ev’ryday they pass me by, 
G              D        C 
  I can see it in their eyes; 
Bm7            Em7             Am7                D7 
  Empty people filled with care, headed who knows where. 
G                    D       C 
  On they go through private pain 
F/G              Csus C 
  Living fear to fear; 
.                                               rit. - - -     a tempo 
Am7                    G/B         C      Am7   D  Dsus  D 
  Laughter hides their silent cries  only Jesus hears. 
  G                 Am7 
    People need the Lord. 
  G/B               C 
    People need the Lord. 
  D        D/C    G/B      C 
    At the end of broken dreams 
  Am7             C/D  D  C/D  D7 
    He’s the open door. 
  G                 Am7 
    People need the Lord. 
  G/B               C 
    People need the Lord. 
  D      D/C     G/B   C 
    When will we re-al-ize 
  Am7      D7       G       D  C  G/B  C  D7 
    People need the Lord? 
G                  D        C 
  We are called to take His light 
G                  D           C 
  To a world where wrong seems right; 
Bm7                 Em7              Am7               D7 
  What could be too great a cost for sharing life with one who’s lost? 
G                      D          C 
  Through His love our hearts can feel 
F/G                  Csus  C 
  All the grief they bear. 
.                                              rit. - - -   a tempo 
Am7                  G/B          C     Am7    D  Dsus  D 
  They must hear the words of life only we can share. 
  G                 Am7 
    People need the Lord. 
  G/B               C 
    People need the Lord. 
  D        D/C    G/B    C 
    At the end of broken dreams 
  Am7             C/D  D  C/D  D7 
    He’s the open door. 
  G                 Am7 
    People need the Lord. 
  G/B               C 
    People need the Lord. 
  D      D/C     G/B   C 
    When will we re-al-ize 
  D      D/C     G/B      C 
    That we must give our lives? 
       Am     D7       Em7   A 
    For people need the Lord. 
   Am7    D7       G     D  C  G/B  C  D7  G 
    People need the Lord.
