Yolanda DeBerry - We Want You Lyrics

“We Want You” is shaped as a corporate prayer of praise and longing for God’s presence. It begins with thanksgiving, honor, and recognition of God’s power, love, and kindness. The recurring appeal for worship to rise, joined with lifted hands and grateful voices, gives the song the language of a gathered congregation offering praise to God alone.

As the lyric progresses, gratitude becomes petition. The singers express holy hunger, ask to be drawn higher, and long for an encounter marked by God’s presence. Psalm 141:2 provides a close biblical parallel for prayer rising before God, while Psalm 63:4 connects praise with lifted hands. The request for heaven to open and for God’s presence to be poured out also recalls Acts 2:17, though the song frames that desire in broad worship language rather than narrating a specific event. Repeated declarations of need bring the prayer to a simple conclusion: miracles are secondary to the central desire for God Himself. The song holds praise and expectancy together without separating worship from dependence.
