What the world needs now
is grace —
God’s grace
It’s the only way
We can all save face
What the world needs now
is grace —
God’s grace
No, not just for some
But for everyone

Lord, we don’t need another praise song
There are praise bands and singers enough to thrill
There are stages and light shows enough to shine
‘till the end of time

What the world needs now
is grace —
God’s grace
It’s the only way
We can all save face
What the world needs now
is grace —
God’s grace
No, not just for some
But for everyone

Lord, we don’t need another gospel
There are 5-steps and formulas enough to blow
There are teachers and preachers enough to throw
you off, when you knew the truth, all along

What the world needs now
is grace —
God’s grace
It’s the only way
We can all save face
What the world needs now
is grace —
God’s grace
No, not just for some
But for everyone

Lord we need to take your loving heart
And compassion and grace to the whole world
There is too much that’s mean and despicable
be unpredictable — like the grace of God

What the world needs now
is grace —
God’s grace
It’s the only way
We can all save face
What the world needs now
is grace —
God’s grace
No, not just for some
But for everyone
