Lyrics

We don't need no more division
We've been fighting for so long
We don't need truth revision
To redefine what's right and wrong
We don't need just an emotion
That will make us feel okay
We don't need to sing of one thing
But then live another way
We don't need empty religion
We don't need self-righteousness
But what we really want
And what we really need
And what we hunger for
Is to know You more
We need to seek Your face
We need to learn Your ways
We need to build Your kingdom
Instead of our own
What we really want
What we really need is Jesus
He must increase, we must decrease
We don't need another sermon
That we choose to not apply
We don't need to see injustice
And then just simply close our eyes
We don't need a lot of money
Just to spend it on ourselves
We don't need so many Bibles
If they're sitting on our shelves
We don't need to say we're Christian
If we do not live in love
But what we really want
And what we really need
And what we hunger for
Is to know You more
We need to seek Your face
We need to learn Your ways
We need to build Your kingdom
Instead of our own
What we really want
What we really need is Jesus
He must increase, we must decrease
We don't need more education
If it will not make us wise
We don't need more entertainment
If it makes us compromise
We don't need a brand new gospel
That is easier to sell
We don't need to speak of heaven
But then never speak of hell
We don't need some charming leader
We don't need a better show
But what we really want
And what we really need
And what we hunger for
Is to know You more
We need to seek Your face
We need to learn Your ways
We need to build Your kingdom
Instead of our own
What we really want
What we really need is Jesus
Oh Lord, please help us find our way
(We need Your help to find our way)
Our hearts so quickly go astray
(We go and come so far)
Clothe us where we are naked
Show us where we are blind
We need to follow You
And leave our sins, our sins behind
'Cause what we really want
And what we really need
And what we hunger for
Is to know You more
We need to seek Your face
We need to learn Your ways
We need to build Your kingdom
Instead of our own
What we really want
What we really need
Oh, what we really, really want
And what we really, really need
Oh, what we really, really want
And what we really, really need is Jesus
He must increase, we must decrease
He must increase, we must decrease
He must increase, we must decrease
