By Surprise cover
06. Desperate
Album: By Surprise
Artist: Joy Williams
         
 

Don’t go, I’m a homesick child
Just stay and talk to me
Even if it’s just for a while
Oh, I’m afraid of the dark
But You are the light
Stay by my side
Lord, without You…

CHORUS
I get a little desperate
Reaching out for Your love
I get desperate
To feel Your touch from above
I get desperate
Far away just won’t do
I’m hopelessly, honestly, constantly
Desperate for You

Oh Lord, when You hung on that tree
You showed once and for all
That You were desperate for me
And I know You’ll be coming back soon
I hope time will fly, I’ll survive
But in the meantime…

CHORUS

Don’t know what I did before You
Never really lived before You
But I want You to know that I…

CHORUS
