Gokey, Danny - Wanted Lyrics






I was there the moment that it happened
But you couldn't see me through the pain
I caught every tear as they were falling
When you lost your heart that day
Yeah, you lost your heart that day

Now you only see through broken lenses
Trying to keep your head above the shame
You believe the lie that I am distant
But I hold you every day
Yeah, I hold you every day

If you could see it through my eyes
You'd know that you are wanted
You'd know that you are wanted
And if you'd let my love inside
I'll show you that you're wanted
I'll show you that you're wanted

You're more than all your darkest moments
You are defined by what I see
You're my reflection, you're my treasure, you're my heartbeat
Oh, child, you belong to me, ohh

'Cause if you would see it through my eyes
You'd know that you are wanted
You'd know that you are wanted
And if you'd let my love inside
I'll show you that you're wanted
I'll show you that you're wanted, oh

Not rejected, not unwelcome
You're wanted (You're wanted)
Oh, you're wanted (You're wanted)
Not abandoned, not forgotten
You're wanted
Oh, you're wanted

I'm right here in this moment
And I'm singing over you
Yeah, I'm singing over you, oh-oh

If you could see it through my eyes
You'd know that you are wanted (You are wanted)
You'd know that you are wanted
And if you'd let my love inside
I'll show you that you're wanted
I'll show you that you're wanted

Gokey, Danny Wanted Comments
  1. S.... M....

    Incredible 💔 I know that all the comments seem to see it only from a religious view but if you are depressed, suicidal or just unhappy hopefully there are friends and family or help lines you can use, you need to talk to find any clarity. Music always soothes me when things are going wrong. So if you have faith in your life great but even if you haven’t there are wonderful people out there who will help if you need it or just listen. Hoping everyone finds love and peace ✌🏻💖

  2. H.... S....

  6. H.... A....

    what was the picture that woman showed him at the end

    H.... A....

    It was the picture of him as a baby...she was his mother. It was the same picture on his mantle that he broke the picture.

  7. s.... ....

    Your music Danny is changing lives all across the world..PRAIAE GOD!!!

  13. g.... L....

    This song means more then I can say. God never came into my life I deserve that I guess but life shouldn't be like this. Thank you giving me alittle hope

    g.... L....

    God is always in your life my friend. Give him thanks. You are not forgotten. He was thinking of you when he sacrificed himself on the cross. When no one else sees God does. Just because you don't have X or Y doesn't mean that God hasn't given you A or B. He counts the stars just as he counts the very hairs on your head.

    g.... L....

    God wants nothing more than to be a part of your life but you have free will to invite him to come in or you can reject him by simply not asking. If you'd like to try again with sincerity of heart it is truly a very simple process: confession of your sinful nature (Romans 6:23, 3:23), and professing (asking him to come into your life Romans 10:9-10). If you make the move I would love to here about it.

  14. b.... ....

    let everyone know and believe that no matter what, the Lord wants you. Dont let anything in your past keep you from the glory of God!!

  15. L.... L....

    😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
    YES YES WELCOME LORD

  16. T.... .....

    I have learned to just lean on God now, He is all I need...when you have a relationship with him you have purpose meaning and you can see him daily working in your life...www.totaltruth.ca for more truth check out the youtube channel and see God's Miracles...He is still on the throne! Don't forget it..He is still a God of love mercy and compassion and He is Singing over us!

  17. a.... d....

    My birth mom sent me this song ( I’m adopted ) and just last weekend after I went to a NF concert with one of my friends and my adopted mom, we drove back home and I sat down with both of my moms and me and my adopted mom told my bio mom that I get to stay with her forever! The original plan was to stay with my bio mom for a few months while I started a new school so that my adopted parents could finish work in my old town, and ow I get to live with my bio mom forever! God works in mysterious ways! Praise Jesus for this glorious blessing that he had laid upon me and my family!💖 and my name is Kaylee and I am 14 years old! Please comment if you need prayer and I will pray for you! And if you are struggling, wether it be depression, addiction, anxiety, people, stress, school, work, jobs, debt, rent, children, divorce, etc. God is always there for you! He will never leave your side! And if you have heard the song by Riley Clemmons, fighting for me, it is such a good and inspiring song!💖 and don’t forget to PUSH ( pray until something happens )💖

    K.... S....

    Kaylee Speedy you are a precious soul God bless you and continue using you for his glory ❤️💯

    K.... S....

    Marisa Anguiano oh my gosh! Thank you so much! And sorry for the late reply, I’ve been so busy! But that means so so much to me!💖 god bless you

  41. B.... B....

    boa musica

  42. C.... D....

    This week I've felt abandoned and unloved and unwanted and this is the most beautiful song that God sent down from heaven for me to hear to remember how much He loves me <3

  43. R.... S....

    what kind of ending was that..... but great song!! I have experienced those things myself. I am post abortive, I have been rejected, abandoned and left alone more times than I care to count. So thankful God let me know I was wanted by Him. I am in the process of writing an article about this very thing, entitled The Woman at the Well

  44. E.... T....

    This world breaks my heart. It is so sad. I know that you are wanted. So am I. This video put me in tears. So does this we world. I have been praying for this world.

  45. J.... R....

    JESUS IS COMING SOONER THEN WE 💭

  46. T.... ....

    This has a beautiful meaning in it.Amen

  47. D.... A....

    Life can be hard but remember God is greater! Thank you Jesus for your goodness!!! Makes me wanna be more like you! WWJD!

  48. N.... O....

    Let Jesus be in our hearts let’s help stop depression and pray and take this chains and brake them and believe in god

  49. J.... A....

    Amazing song!

  50. K.... M....

    No one wants me.I am worthless, no one cares about me all I want is to die

    K.... M....

    Seek Him with all of your heart and you will find Him ( Jeremiah 29:13).

    K.... M....

    God sees your struggles and is with you. He loved you so much he sent his son to die for you. God had you specifically in mind when he died on the cross. He even knew you before you were in your mother's whom. Sounds like you are struggling with people. I'll pray for you that God would put a positive Christian friend in your life. I would recommend getting involved with your church. Most churches have groups you can join and also to volunteer. It's a great way to meet people who aren't just put there for themselves. God will make everything Okay. On this day or the last. Have hope.

  51. E.... C....

    Amazing song, maybe you Just haven’t seen it yet, but you are Wanted and you have to Finish Strong and Rise, and make it a New Day, and Tell your Heart to Beat Again in Him. 😀☺️

  52. G.... T....

    I am so broken God. Please help me. Being in pain every day from sickle cell disease. I can't take this pain anymore. I need you. I need to guide me down the narrow path and not the wide one. I need you to help me be financially okay. I can't work or finish college until my hip replacement is fully healed which is 9 more months.

    I know ever when I feel you're not here that you are. I love you!

  53. T.... B....

    Thank you for this song. This song represents hope. Hope for a new day. Hope for a better relationship with God. Hope for someone in need of prayer.

  54. S.... B....

    Jesus wants you that's why he has spared your life despite your grief and pain. JESUS WANTS ME 😙😚😄

  55. G.... ....

    These are a few verses I keep for myself when depression and hopelessness takes hold. It's never permanent and God will get you through everything. Just try to remember you're never alone. He's with you, and in you; and your fellow brothers and sisters suffer with you. You are loved.

    "Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God." Psalm 42:11

    "The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:8

    "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:6-7

    "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

    "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

    "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

    "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13

    "But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him” 1 Corinthians 2:9

    "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10

    "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whate‎ver is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Philippians 4:8

  56. a.... ....

    Muhammad is a liar, Jesus is the King.

    Come, oh Lord Jesus, and cleanse all our sins.

  66. J.... D....

    "You believe that lie that I am distant, but i hold you every day...." Oh gosh, another punch in the face, that verse is exactly how I have been feeling, that God is distant, but I guess this song says otherwise, he's not, and he's holding me. He is holding you too, God loves us, and even if we can't feel him, he is still there.

    J.... D....

    Joy Dellvon He promises us in His Word that He will Never leave us nor forsaken us, and guess what, there is NO exception to it. That means all His Children . God Bless you

    I.... R....

    Ian Rundell you're not alone. Jesus is there and He loves you. Reach out to Him in prayer and ask Him for His grace to sustain you. He Jesus is bigger than all of our problems. I'll pray for you

  69. K.... S....

    Needed this!! I have depression, PTSD and Trauma Spectrum Disorder and have attempted suicide too many times to count. The last 5 times I was unresponsive and twice I was in life support! Jesus carries me and has saw fit to save me so many times. This is not said looking for comments or likes or even sympathy....it is said to hopefully reach the one/ones who need to know.....there is HOPE! There is JOY!! There is LOVE!! There is a beautiful LIFE ahead of you so please, NEVER, EVER GIVE UP!! You are wanted, you are loved, you are worthy, you are needed, you a here for a purpose even in the darkest of times! NEVER, EVER let go of Jesus for He has NEVER let go of....YOU!❤🙌

    Saw him in concert a week ago and when he was about to sing this song he said for everyone to close their eyes and just listen to the words and that this is God speaking these words to you and as the song started and I was sitting there with my eyes closed tears started to roll down my cheeks. He was right God was singing these words to me that night and it touched my heart in such an amazing way. I love this song so much. Thank you Danny for singing this and bringing this song into the world. God bless!

    J.... J....

    Saw him at Beach Church and he had us close our eyes and picture God singing this to us. It took me back to the day my heart broke and I could see Jesus putting his hand on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and was crying tears of joy. Such an amazing song

  71. T.... A....

    Thanks to our heavenly Father that he does not left us along in our human condition but he Gave up His son Jesus at the cross to let us know that we are not rejected not along but wanted by Him. Thank you Jesus.

  72. K.... R....

    Powerful message! Be kind. Be loving. You never know what someone is going through.

  73. R.... ....

    This song is another amazing gift to us fans. I love and I am always stirred within to give thanks and praise to Almighty God when listening to you sing Danny. God be praised! Thank you!

  77. T.... S....

    I asked God for a sign that if he was here with me, during my struggles amd depression and he put this video on my recommendation. Thank you Lord. 🙇🏻‍♀️

    T.... S....

    Praying for you♥️

    T.... S....

    Minka More, I found a quote by Thomas Monson that may help you; "Our Heavenly Father, who gives us so much to delight in, also knows that we learn and grow and become stronger as we face and survive the trials through which we must pass. We know that there are times when we will experience heartbreaking sorrow, when we will grieve, and when we may be tested to our limits. However, such difficulties allow us to change for the better, to rebuild our lives in the way our Heavenly Father teaches us, and to become something different from what we were—better than we were, more understanding than we were, more empathetic than we were, with stronger testimonies than we had before.

    This should be our purpose—to persevere and endure, yes, but also to become more spiritually refined as we make our way through sunshine and sorrow."

    Keep something, which inspires you, written down, put it where you can always see it, and read it daily...then internalize it so it becomes part of the beautiful soul that is you.
