Better People

Well, we're right there every Sunday

With a Bible in our hands

We sing along to every song

Bow our heads and say "Amen"

We give ten percent to Jesus

And on a good month a little more

But to that panhandler down on Church Street

We just nod and lock the door

The world don't need another soapbox preacher

Talkin' 'bout streets of gold

Just someone they can lean on

And a steady hand to hold

We don't need bigger churches, oh, with higher steeples

We need deeper love, softer hearts,and better people, yeah, yeah

I ain't sayin' I've got it all figured out

There's still a lot that I don't know

I'm gonna ask St. Pete about a millions things

If he let's me through that door

We'll sing "Amazing Grace" with smiling faces

The last one shall be first

But if you ask me, brother, what we need's

More heaven here on earth

The world don't need another soapbox preacher

Talkin' 'bout streets of gold

Just someone they can lean on

And a steady hand to hold

We don't need bigger churches, oh, with higher steeples

We need deeper love, softer hearts, and better people, yeah, yeah

The world don't need another soapbox preacher

Talkin' 'bout streets of gold

Just someone they can lean on

And a steady hand to hold

Wedon't need bigger churches, oh, with higher steeples

We need deeper love, softer hearts, and better people, yeah, yeah

Oh, we need better people
