Desperate heart
This desperate heart cries out for You, cries out for You, Lord
And my soul waits with a desperate heart
This desperate heart is at the end, it cries for mercy from Your right hand
This desperate heart
I’ve sat and watched the river run, watched the seasons chase the sun
Seen the eagle on the wing and wished that I could be so free
I’ve heard Your voice and held Your hand, bowed my head and made a stand
All is well, or so it seems but all that’s left is broken dreams
And this desperate heart cries out for You, cries out for You, Lord
And my soul waits with a desperate heart
And I don’t have an alibi for all the times my lips have lied
Not one reason or excuse for all the times I’ve strayed from You
So like a prodigal I come, ragged, poor and all undone
God, have mercy on your son by the power of Jesus’ blood
And this desperate heart cries out for You, cries out for You, Lord
And my soul waits with a desperate heart
