All This City Needs
Fellowship Church Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will wait no more
The haves will have more
Than they've ever had before
The hurt will rise
Wipe their eyes
Joy will be
'Cause love, love is coming
To change their lives
Your love won't stop its feet
It's gaining speed
It's all this city needs
All this city needs
Is your love, Jesus
Let our lives be the voice
That's heard as one
So the world will know
The power of your love
We need something real
That will never change
'Cause all our hearts
They need the same
With one mind and heart
We cry out your name
Your love won't stop its feet
It's gaining speed
And it's all this city needs
All this city needs
Is your love, Jesus
Teach our hands to play their part
Lead us with your broken heart
There's more than what we see
You're all this city needs
With one prayer
We're reaching up to you
All for the world
That we reach out to
We're reaching in for the grace
To spread the change
Your love won't stop its feet
It's gaining speed
And it's all this city needs
All this city needs
Is your love, Jesus
So teach our hands to play their part
Lead us with your broken heart
There's more than what we see
All this city needs is your love
Oh, your love
The lyrics of the song "All This City Needs" by Fellowship Church talk about the transformative power of love and how it can change the lives of those who are weak, poor, and hurting.

However, the hurt will rise, and their tears of joy will be the result of the love that is coming to change their lives.
The chorus emphasizes that the love of Jesus is what the city needs to heal, and the singer's voice must be heard as one so that the world will know the power of this love. The second verse talks about the need for something that will never change and how all hearts long for it. With one mind and heart, the singer cries out for Jesus to bring His love and change the city.
The bridge tells how the people are reaching up to Jesus with one prayer, asking for the grace to spread the change that His love brings. The song closes with a plea for Jesus to teach the singer's hands to play their part and lead them with His broken heart, reminding them that there is more than what they can see, and all this city needs is Jesus and His great love.
