Crying For A Saviour Lyrics - Singles - Sandifer Phillip

Words and Music by Phillip Sandifer 

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
