Desperate People Songtext
von Micah Stampley

I′ve seen the God of wonders
Work miracles for me
Those with gifts and talents
Spoke prophetically
The mantles of Elijah, Paul, and Timothy
I want to see that power at work inside of me

'Cause I′m tired of the status quo
It's gotta be more than this
Gotta be more, gotta be more
Gotta be more than this
'Cause desperate people do desperate things
And we′re pressing in
Gotta be more, gotta be more
Gotta be more than this, yeah
So much more


There′s a people rising, their faces shining bright
They'll speak the name of Jesus
As they′re walking toward the light (yeah)
We will seek His power, His presence, and His grace
And we won't stop pursuing ′til we see Him face to face

'Cause I′m tired of the status quo
It's gotta be more than this
Gotta be more, gotta be more
It's gotta be more than this
Desperate people do desperate things
And we′re pressing in
Gotta be more, gotta be more
It′s gotta be more than this
It's gotta be more, gotta be more
It′s gotta be more


We are desperate people, we want more, more Lord
We are desperate people, we want more, more Lord
We are desperate people, we want more, more Lord
We are desperate people, we want more, more Lord
We are desperate people, we want more, more Lord (we want more)
We are desperate people, we want more, more Lord (in You we breathe)
We are desperate people, we want more, more Lord (in You we live and have our being)
We are desperate people, we want more, more Lord (more of Your presence)
We are desperate people, we want more, more Lord (more of Your power)
We are desperate people, we want more, more Lord (we're hungry for more)
We are desperate people, we want more, more Lord (we want more)
We are desperate people, we want more, more Lord

′Cause I'm tired of the status quo
It′s gotta be more than this
Tired of the status quo
It's gotta be more than this, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Tired of the status quo
It's gotta be more than this
It′s gotta be more, gotta be more
It′s gotta be more than this
It's gotta be more, gotta be more
It′s gotta be more...
