LECRAE

"Desperate"

feat. Cam (Cameron Dukes)

[Intro: Lecrae]
Our Father, forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us
Uh

[Verse 1: Lecrae]
Woke up this morning too depressed and shamed to leave my bed (Shamed)
Can't stand to see my own reflection so I hang my head (Uh)
Feel like a disappointment (Man) like the scum of the earth (Lord)
I'm so hurt I know you see I can't cover my dirt (I can't)
My souls dying hearts weak and I can't even cry (Cry)
I'm sposed to run to you but why I'm such an evil guy (Lord)
The sun's shining but for me, it's the darkest of days (It is)
Try to pretend it never happened but the guilt remains (Uh)
I leave the house it feels like everybody knows I did it (Know I did)
Feel like they reading my mind and know the sin I committed (Man)
Through your blood, I'm acquitted (I am) but my heart doesn't get it (It don't)
Oh God, I'm desperate for help 'cause I'm grieving Your Spirit
I couldn't sing in the Sunday service, Lord I felt fake (Felt fake)
And when they started communion I just made an escape
I'm in need of your grace (Yes) feels like You hid Your face (Yes)
Lord, lead me back to cross and show me my sins erased

[Chorus: Cam]
I'm so desperate (Ooh-ooh), can't believe I've sinned against You (Ooh-ooh)
Create in me a clean heart (I'm so sorry)
I'm sorry (Your mercy), Your mercy (Is what I need) is what I need (Is what I need)
I'm so desperate (Ooh-ooh), I can't believe I've sinned against You (Ooh-ooh)
Create in me a clean heart (I'm so sorry)
(I'm so sorry) Hey (It's Your mercy), is what I need (Is what I need)

[Verse 2: Lecrae]
I'm waist deep in my pity and Satan tryna trick me (What?)
And tell me you won't forgive me 'cause it's startin' to get me (Yeah)
Jesus help me quickly (Help) I hate the wrong I've done (I do)
I know we all fall but I feel like the only one (It's only me)
Feels like I should be shunned should I punish myself
I know it's dumb 'cause by your death all my sin has been dealt
But my sin is been felt I didn't want to do it (I didn't)
But what I want to do I don't I swear I'm goin' through it
I'm tryna open up my Bible need to read your pages (I need You, Lord)
Need You Lord but my guilt has got me feeling so faithless (It does)
Help me see where grace is (Lord) take me back to the basics (Please)
Help me find my joy in You and not people and places
My sin is ever before me I turned my back on You (On You)
Oh Father, break and restore me to bring me back to you (Bring me back)
My sin is ever before me I turned my back on You (You)
God break and restore me to bring me back to You

[Verse 3: Lecrae]
Have mercy on me God according to your steady love
Wipe away my transgressions and wash me in your blood
Create in me a clean heart renew a right spirit
Don't hide your face from me God your Presence keep me near it
I'm waiting patience on you Lord I know you hear my cry
Restore your Joy in me for you alone I live and die
It's you I Glorify 'cause you don't want my sacrifice
You want me broken and contrite trusting in the Christ
I confess to you my sin and you show me mercy
I turn away from it demonstrating that you are worthy
Over lust, over pride
Over all sin
Is my affection for Jesus who died for all them
I was lost now I'm found I was toss to the ground
My sin weighed on me heavy but I am no longer bound
As sure as Christ wear the crown I know that grace will abound
And even when I feel lost I know in You I am found

[Hook:]
I'm so desperate, I can't believe I've sinned against you
Create in me a clean heart (I'm so sorry)
Your mercy is what I need
