Desperate People

Micah Stampley · One Voice [2011]

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

There's gotta be more than this

There's gotta be more, gotta be more

There's gotta be more than this

Desperate people do desperate things '

And we're pressing in

There's gotta be more

Gotta be more

There's gotta be more than this



There's a people rising the faces shining bright

They speak the name of Jesus

As they're walking toward the light

And we will seek His power, his presence and his grace

And we won't stop persuing, until we see Him face to face,



Cause I'm tired of the status quo,

There's gotta be more than this

There's gotta be more, gotta be more

Gotta be more than this

Cause desperate people do desperate things,

And were pressing in,

There's gotta be more, gotta be more,

Gotta be more than this



We are desperate people we want more more Lord

We are desperate people we want more more Lord
