Some people came here to pray
Some will stay until they're sorry
Some'll be sad to have to go away

Some people came here to listen
Some people came here to talk
Some people don't know how much they've been given
Some people thank the Lord for what little they've got

But there's one thing you've got to tell them
Tell them one, you've got to tell them all
Because there ain't nobody so bad, that the Lord can't save 'em
Ain't nobody so good that they don't need God's love

And there's one thing, you've got to show them
Just one thing you've got to let them see
Don't make no difference what else that you may be wanting
The love of God is the thing they need, it's the thing they need

Some people came here on business
Some people came on R and R
Some strut around in their fancy stitches
Some sink low because they got to hide some nasty scars

There's some people can be so pious
Some people are so depraved
Some of them seem to thrive on the quiet
Some are just dyin' to go out and to make some waves

But there's just one thing you've got to tell them
Tell them one you've got to tell them all
Because there ain't nobody so bad, that the Lord can't save 'em
Ain't nobody so good that they don't need God's love

And there's one thing you've got to show them
Just one thing you've got to let them see
Don't make no difference what else that you may be wanting
The love of God is the thing they need, it's the thing they need
It's the thing they need yeah

Well you can talk about fashion
You can talk about the weather
It's all just stuff
And it all goes up in flames

Just in case somebody comes askin'
Why don't you do 'em one better
Well if you got to talk why don't you tell 'em
'Bout the things that remain the same

But there's just one thing you've got to tell them
Tell them one you've got to tell them all
Because there ain't nobody so bad, that the Lord can't save 'em
Ain't nobody so good that they don't need God's love

And there's one thing you've got to show them
Just one thing you've got to let them see
Don't make no difference what else that you may be wanting
The love of God is the thing you need, it's the thing they need
It's the thing we need, it's the thing they need oh yeah
It's the thing they need no, no, no yeah

Some people came here to pray
Some will stay until they're sorry
