What the world needs now is love sweet love,
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of.
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone.
Lord we don’t need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb,
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last until the end of time.
Lord, we don’t need another meadow
There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow,
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine,
Oh listen, Lord, if you want to know
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of.
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
No not just for some, oh but just for every, everyone.
Interesting song! David and Bacharach wanted to get the message out that it is love that is truly needed in our world today.
The Bible tells us of a love that surpasses every other kind of love. Read how the Lord Jesus Christ said it in John 3:16-18:
For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world that He might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. Anyone who believes in Him is not condemned, but anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the One and Only Son of God. (HCSB)
What our world needs is the love of God through the Lord Jesus Christ! David and Bacharach missed what has already been given to everyone in the world.
