Desperation

Had a massive headache towards evening time at work, texted my prayer partner and got her to pray against the migraine. Went off and played a few strokes of tennis for Inter-Accounting Firm Games. Contemplated excusing myself from cheering for the team but when the Executive Director, Managing Director and a few Partners of the firm showed up towards the end of the match, looks like I was meant to stay. "Unity," He whispered. It rained and the final match was put on hold. We resumed the match indoors. The victory of the last stroke was sweet and we beat the defending champions by straight sets.

It was almost 10.00pm. "Should I go?" I thought. The headache was slowing subsiding. I knew that someone must be praying for me. "Unity -- you are not excluded," He whispered. I bade my goodbyes to my mates and dashed off. Every traffic lights turned green as I passed, as if He was saying, "Make way!". 10.15pm, I arrived. 30 minutes of standing in unison with the church for the nation, is more than enough. Desperation. Just a glimpse of you, that's all I need. I am in this. I am part of the desperate people.

"Desperate People"

You cross the great divide, You took our place
You offered up Your life, for we have failed
The veil was torn and love remained
You are holy Lord

Distraction costs us, how we seek Your face
We offer up our lives to bring You praise
A love the walls cannot contain
You are holy Lord

We're rising up in spirit and in truth
A living sacrifice we worship You
People undivided Lord hear us sing
We are Yours and You are our King

This is our love
Hearts joined as one
Desperate for all You are
Lord break down these walls
And see how we love
Desperate for all You are
We chase Your heart

We didn't come to leave here entertained
Or worship under any other name
We're crying out for You alone
You are holy Lord

We're rising up in spirit and in truth
A living sacrifice we worship You
People undivided Lord hear us sing
We are Yours and You are our king

This is our love
Hearts joined as one
Desperate for all You are
Lord break down these walls
And see how we love
Desperate for all You are
We chase Your heart

Show us the way to Your heart

We found our voice
We found our cause
We're on our knees, the carpet's worn
We join our hearts
With distant shores sing to You Lord

This is our love
Hearts joined as one
Desperate for all You are
Lord break down these walls
And see how we love
Desperate for all You are
This is our love
Hearts joined as one
Desperate for all You are
Lord break down these walls
And see how we love
Desperate for all You are
We chase your heart
We chase your heart
