This song was born out of a deep desire and desperation for an increase of the presence of God in my life as well as in my church. It is a heart-cry, a yearning, one that can only be satisfied by the presence of the one true living God. More of you Lord, more of you!

Desperate We Are For You
CCLI Number: 5855441
Desperate we are for You
Hungry we come to You
We know we cannot live
This life alone
So with our heads bowed low
And with our hearts held high
Boldly we now approach
The God most high
CHORUS:
Only more of Your spirit
Only more of Your love
Only more of Your presence
Can Satisfy our desperate hearts
Only more of Your power
Only more of Your grace
Only more of You Jesus
Nothing else will take Your place
Will take Your place
Eager to feel You near
Longing to see Your face
Oh Jesus, won’t You come in power?
Jesus, more of Jesus
Only Jesus, more of You (repeat)
