[Verse 1]
We're living in a time of trouble, oh yes
Of darkness and despair
Men's hearts are filled with worries
Astonish men in care
But let God take your hand
Oh yes, He understands
Somebody, somebody needs Jesus — is it you?
[Chorus]
Yeah, somebody needs Jesus — is it you? Oh yes
Don't you know somebody, somebody needs Jesus
Yes, is it you? Oh yes
Although you may be discouraged and brokenhearted, too
Somebody, somebody needs Jesus — child, is it you?
[Verse 2]
Friends, don't let Satan deceive ya
And rob you of your soul
Just think of the pains and sorrows
Suffered by everyone
Fall down, down on your knees
Cry, "Lord, have mercy on me"
Somebody, somebody needs Jesus — yes, is it you?
[Chorus]
Well, well, well, somebody, somebody needs Jesus
I wonder, is it you? Oh yes
Don't you know somebody, somebody needs Jesus
Well, is it you? Woo, ooh
Although you may be discouraged and brokenhearted, too
Don't you know somebody, somebody needs Jesus — yes, is it you?
