Lecrae - Desperate Lyrics
[Lecrae:]
Our Father
Forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Woke up this morning too depressed and shamed to leave my bed
Can't stand to see my own reflection so I hang my head
Feel like a disappointment like the scum of the earth
I'm so hurt I know you see I can't cover my dirt
My souls dying hearts weak and I can't even cry
I'm sposed to run to you but WHY I'm such an evil guy
The sun's shining but for me it's the darkest of days
Try to pretend it never happened but the guilt remains
I leave the house it feels like everybody knows I did it
Feel like they reading my mind and know the sin I committed
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
And when they started communion I just made an escape
I'm in need of your grace
Feels like you hid your face
Lord, lead me back to cross and show me my sins erased
[Cam:]
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
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
[Lecrae:]
I'm waste deep in my pity
Is Satan tryna trick me and tell me you won't forgive me
Cause it's startin to get me
Jesus help me quickly I hate the wrong I've done
I know we all fall but I feel like the only one
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
But what I want to do I don't
I swear I'm going through it
I'm tryna open up my bible need to read your pages
I need you Lord but my guilt has got me feeling so faithless
Help me see where grace is
Take me back to the basics
Help me find my joy in you and not people and places
My sin is ever before me I turned my back on you
Oh father break and restore me and bring me back to you
My sin is ever before me I turned my back on you
Oh God break and restore me and bring me back to you
[Cam:]
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
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
[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 is 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 wears the crown
I know that grace will abound
And even when I feel lost I know in You I am found
[Cam:]
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
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

i feel lost
i wish i could turn from my sin
Why can't you?
Michael Casey you can. Involve yourself in a church and talk to your pastor. I got saved this past summer and I'm a dirty rotten sinner. I admit it.
Michael Casey, Repentance is the Key unto salvation. Cry to the Lord Jesus Christ to save you from your sinful ways and you shall be saved. Repentance is no more a meritorious work than its counterpart, faith. It is an inward response. Repentance is not merely behavior reform. But because true repentance involves a change of heart and purpose, it inevitably results in a change of behavior. Like faith, repentance has intellectual, emotional, and volitional ramifications. A change of view, a recognition of sin as involving personal guilt, defilement, and helplessness. The emotional element is a change of feeling, manifesting itself in sorrow for sin committed against a holy God. READ 2 CHRONICLES 7:14, PROVERS 28:13, JONAH 3:10, MATTHEW 3:2, MATTHEW 4:17, MARK 1:15, LUKE 13:3, ACTS 2:38. MAY GOD BLESS YOU FROM TURNING YOU AWAY FROM YOUR SINS.
man this song never gets old 😊
All the Glory be to God!!!
That's right, Praise the Lord!!
When I saw ft. Cam I thought they meant the country singer XD
I keep falling short of His glory 😑 desperate
I'm sorry for I have sinned terribly forgive me O great God Love You
I listen to this a lot!
So..so powerful lyrics
dude these lyrics hit hard for me and my situation 😢😔
The only rapper I like... :) I was a person who was not much interested in Hip Hop. But after listening to him, I think I'm liking the genre for the first time.... :) Thanks to God, we have a rapper who raps on His Words....
this song always gets to me, such a heaviness on my heart..powerful words in that song
Man I love this guy and his music!
remember don't worship the person and the beat
+MrChampion1226 exactly 😇😇
I have never heard this song until today and I almost fell out my chair because it sums up my life in more than one way. I have been struggling for a long time, questioning if God really loves me and why i'm living in this hell. I have even thought about taking my own life. It's not about the song it about the words between the words. God is speaking through Lecrae to so many who can't speak for themselves.
BlessedGeeGee Yes I love the words of this song and it helps me when I feel the way you do. Our lives are precious and we are loved by God no matter what.
BlessedGeeGee I relate... GOD got u. Remember JOB; sometimes we have to go thru in order to get out. Ps. 31:14-16
Aight so I wish I could've sang a song like that. That song to me is a really good one. It's kinda SAD right? Or is that just me? IDK. NEways though. But do you feel me though? I don't know maybe I'm trippin.
I needed this so much today
Was this song sad to you at all. Make you think at all about anything. Sad at all.
This song is beautiful.
was it sad? don't lie
@J Estrada yea because I sinned against God. It's a horrible feeling when I sin against God. Knowing what he's done for me and how much he loves me. Of course it is.
at 2:00 hes somewhat quoting this verse romans 7:15
Sad song or no?
Yeah, I saw that, too. And, a lot of this song comes from Psalms 51, David's prayer for forgiveness after his affair with Bathsheeba (dunno how to spell it, lol). Lecrae did a good job with this song.
It's you I glorify cause You don't want my sacrifice, You want me broken and contrite, trusting in the Christ.
Lord help me to find my joy in you not in people or places...
Amen 🙏
What a great,worthy song, showing the Greatness of God's Mercy, Jesus we thank you for being our Redeemer Forever! Amen, David Productions,thank u Lecrae & Cam!
God is faithful
oh yeah how faithful... people are dying everyday... probably never even lived. you know what i mean had a family of there own. why does he make us fall. naw naw I mean i dont blame god. but tell me why there is so much tragedy in the world. war. diseases. car crashes. sick shit. law breaking in the law... bad shit everywhere give me an answer an actual sophisticated answer plz... plz....
some people can't be saved that is why there is a hell right. because someone has to go there right... maybe i'm just tripping .... i do my part though and read and pray.
@J Estrada If God didn't allow bad things to happen why would we need him? If God made everything perfect for us we wouldn't need him and if we're honest would we even love God or would already have everything and throw him to the side. God gave us free will to choose him or not, to break the law or not but he is always there with us ready to forgive and show us more of his awesome grace.
@J Estrada All fall short of the glory of God everyone has a choice to accept God into their lives and go to heaven just the same as they to do to live for themselves and world with hell after it. You have to have a relationship with God reading the Bible and praying doesn't get you into heaven it is not your works or the works of any man. I am not a Christian because i go to church, read the Bible and pray, I go to church, read the Bible and pray because I am a Christian.
@Andrew Day a wonderful quote from a wonderful person. " God allows us to be the authors of our life, that's the beauty of free will." I don't have all the answers brother, I agree there are horrific things that happen in this world. But that's all the more reason why to yearn and seek him. This world is not corrupted because of God but because of us. Our sinful nature, I hate sin and the horrific and terrible things it brings, but the beautiful thing is that God reveals himself through all that by his Glory, and as corruptable as we are he still overwhelms with his mercy and grace. A father that loves us so much that even though we continue to deny him, He STILL loves us. That to me is incomprehensable. God Bless you brother.
I never knew what this song actually meant until now. Now I see and feel the full meaning of this song...
Amen, your not in this struggle alone man. Takes courage to confess "secret sins" like that. Took me 1 year after going to church and trying to follow god to finally admit that i was smoking bud. I encourage you brotha, anyone near you in your life right now that u kno will give you the Lord's council, and you feel comfortable talking about life w/them. Talk to them about it. Yea, u might have that desire to watch porn and want sex, but Any1 reading ur post can see a desire to serve God too
Amen!! :)
I can relate man, YOUR NOT ALONE. God will help you , he's always there.
Will Pray, God Bless You
Will be praying. You aren't the only person who has gone through this.
God is the only one that can help you with that. I used to have that problem and it was bad. Just try and get closer to God! Don't try and NOT do it, just Try and get closer to your savior!! If you try not to do it, you will fail even more.. Rely on God and watch his wonderful work! <3 God Bless
<3 <3 <3 This song is the best song i've ever heard!! I cried hearing this song!
hey pressed post on acident let me keep goin(lol) ok so yyo
ok so you sinned. everybody sins! trust me you are not the only one! you sin,you repent Tell giod that yi
I need the same prayers not so much with pornography as I do with lust!Pls God take these unclean spirits on tv that subject are minds to lust with almost every female on tv half dressed!AN SO MUCH SATANISIM ALL ON TV!GLORIFY GOD NOT SATAN ON TV!!!!!BABYLON SHOULD BURN !AN I LOVE MY COUNTRY BUT THIS WILL HAPPEN DUE TO THE SATANIST!
When satan reminds you of your PAST remind him of his FUTURE. He going down! Jesus is still saving lives! Praise Him! He deserves the Praise! I still struggle but my struggles make me stronger in Him!
This is the verse God led me too when I was struggling with something. It's so refreshing to know that God always has an escape, and his way is always stronger than any temptation.
pray and pray again and again!
this is how I feel what now with everything going on
"I couldn't sing in Sunday service, Lord I felt fake" - that was me last Sunday
My favorite song,it reminds me of a message my pastor preach about and l'm always desperate for God and his mercy, grace, and righteousness
u have to start hating it.. first step..
Matt 7:7 seek, ask, and knock for freedom that Christ can give and you will be free. He came to give us freedom.
Well repenting means a full turn around from what you were previously doing. What I suggest is to get in the Bible and study the Word. The Word is truth and spirit and the closer you get to God, the more He will reveal to you
klow1991 repenting means feeling remorse for something
God is really changeing m e!! Thank god for lacrae
Search the Word, posting a comment isn't gonna help. Pray and read. Learn and fight it.
Argueably one of lecraes top 5 songs, because of how personal, powerful, and prayerlike it is, every believer can probably relate to this. I know I can.
i will.. somebody at my church talked about pornography search on google church xxx i hope it helps.. god bless.
does anyone else cry or tear up hearing this song? I can't help it but happens every time
How do I quit committing the same sin after repenting from it? How do I stop someone please help
The key word is "i" in that sentence. His focus should be on the beauty, wisdom, power, and grace of God. The whole song is about him. Those who follow this mindset will find his music inspiring. Those who know God will find this music "redundant" and "narcissistic". Not praise worthy.
your in my prayers dude! just believe and dont doubt and tell them to go in Jesus name they have to go. :) keep fighting the good fight of faith.
really listen to the lyrics. he is saying Father, im desprate and i need your grace. most people are getting the message. you cant praise the " Glory of God" with out his Grace. what this song is about.
Lecrae's music got you guys thinking about "me, myself, and I". The gospel is not about you. Get over it. And stop listening to this crap. Praise music is about the "Glory of God". 90% of his music got you waking up thinking about yourself. When you should "die" to yourself and follow Christ. ...that is all.
CONTINUED- t of our sin. Luke 13 24-30 tells us to not follow the ways of this world. Or," make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and not be able to." I will remember you in my prayers tonight. Please pray for me too. KJ said" One Love, One GOD, and only One Way." LORD GOD, bless us all. And Please forgive us all.
I'll be praying for you too Ryan. And No, your not alone, and i know because I'm right there with you. I have been struggling with lust for as far back as I can remember, and I'm only 14!! I pray the LORD will give us the faith, patience, and will to overcome all of our sin. LORD, please forgive us. And Ryan, if you read this comment, please, look up the verse 1 Corinthians 10:13. It means a lot to know that the GOD OF THE UNIVERSE is with us, and cares about us, and HE will provide us a way ou
My very heart right now... I thank you Jesus...for your GRACE. Without it... where would I be...
I can relate to you, man! You're not alone! May the grace of Jesus be with you.
its truly beautiful to go on here and read the comments. Some are being honest and asking for help, and so many are responding with encouragements. that's wonderful people. Don't lose heart in God, when your going through it, don't focus so much on your sin but focus rather on God.
this sounds a lot like a tupac song
Over LUST, over PRIDE..over all sin..
The cook - high school days
Same here Ryan im drownn in my sin
Blood of Redemption.
Please pray for me also i suffer from the same issues.
I will pray for you.
Lecrae. Thank you. God bless.
For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. Romans 7:19
Will do Ryan.
exactly how I feel
Still love this song
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
You can do it by the blood of Jesus! I am praying for you! I know what it feels like--my best friend was there and I walked through it with him. You can overcome.
