Phillip Sandifer - Crying For A Saviour lyrics

Down in Sao Paulo kids live in the streets

It rains death in Africa there's nothing to eat

Blacks hate the whites, whites hate their own

And we deal with our guilt by living life stoned

Chorus

We are crying for a saviour

While we scratch at the surface

The roots go untouched

We are crying for a saviour

One who's given us the answer

And whose motive was love

Philanthropies profit from taxes deferred

While needing recipients can't buy a shirt

Well the system it's not working and it's beyond repair

An overhaul's due but there are too few who care

Chorus

The answer's been given through a death on a cross

As Christ died returning to us that which we'd lost

Relations with God once again are begun

As we come to know him through are saviour His son

Repeat Chorus
