How Many Songs Does It Take To Save the World?

If I sing a new song

It had better be one worth singing

Not just for a quick buck

God knows that these verses don't bring it

You called for justice and I hummed a tune

You call the righteous, now I'm asking You

Tell me, how many songs does it take to save the world?

If I sing a new song

It had better be one I'm living

Not just Sunday morning

Cup of coffee, high notes, and giving

You want us faithful

We bargain for power

You want the whole thing

I offered an hour

Tell me, how many songs does it take to save the world?

'Cause if there's one song

Well, I'm gonna sing it

Don't care 'bout hit songs

Preach to the choir

Wake up, you giant!

Quit lullabying

Tell me, how many songs does it take to save the world?

If I sing a new song

It had better ring out with justice

Not just for its own sake

With tired lines and old borrowed phrases

Yours is kingdom, don't need market share

You'd kick over tables in this house of prayer

Tell me, how many songs does it take to save the world?

'Cause if there's one song

I'm gonna sing it

Don't care 'bout hit songs

Preach to the choir

Wake up, you giant!

Quit lullabying

Tell me, how many songs does it take to save us?

One

God is with you and His song is love

More than strong enough to rescue, come

He's delighted, so be silent

And you'll hear that He's been singing

One

God is with you and His song is love

More than strong enough to rescue, come

He's delighted, so be silent

And you'll hear that He's been singing

One song

And I'm gonna sing it

Don't care about hit songs

Preach to the choir

Wake up, you giant!

Quit lullabying
