This week’s featured song story comes to us from Danny Gokey. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “Wanted.”
“What you see of yourself is not how He sees you. He sees you in the way He created you and not damaged by what that person did to you. No matter how small the rejection or how big the rejection, [the heart of father God in which Jesus came] He came to bring us back to the father so that he could remove the blockages in our heart so that we can receive His goodness and receive His love. Know this, You’re wanted. You have a purpose.” – Danny Gokey

“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
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
Not rejected, not unwelcome
You’re wanted, you’re wanted
Not abandoned, not forgotten
You’re wanted, you’re wanted
I’m right here in this moment
And I’m singing over you
Yeah I’m singing over you
