Story Behind the Song: "Desperate"

02.24.10

"'Desperate' is a song about being in a place where you have pushed past all of your own abilities, and you come to realize that if God doesn't come through for you, you're not going to be able to survive. Sometimes in those times we don't understand why God hasn't done something yet, and we feel like we can't even see Him anymore, but it's during those hardest times that God really comes through in the biggest way. This song is about just being desperate for God and crying out for Him and just demanding that He step into your situation and help you." - Dawn

		JL - August 22, 2010 06:56 PM Desperate is my favorite song on the new album. I have it in my ipod and find myself playing in over and over again while I run. My family and I have continually been under attack and while I know it is not my fight, that it is a fight of the spirit and not of the flesh, it still makes me Desperate for the Lord to make it end and give us some closure. I know my Lord is walking with me, even caring me at times, but this songs lyrics truely says it all - I know you hear me won't you give me a sign/you put me on a path I don't understand/I'm standing on a ledge waving my hands. I am truely desperate to understand why my family and i are going through things that threaten our freedom, jobs and home, but I know that i will continue to give him glory through it all, even in all my desperation. My husband and I discovered your band almost 3 years ago when we saw you at Fall Quest and we have been fans ever since. Hope to see you on October 22.

		Riley - May 04, 2010 12:10 PM Until recently, I have just been living for nothing. While I loved God and I knew I was a Christian, I was living for nothing. I was desperate for something to change that and take me out of this spiritual movement that was not happening. For awhile, I was content at just going about, not actually living for a God who died for me. When I first heard this song, the lyrics hit me hard. My life was in disarray and I was losing contact with a God who reaches out to me constantly. This song has woken me up from that spiritual slumber. I live now for God and my life is getting better and better. Even in the darkest times, I have a light shining through showing me the way to live this life. I love you all and God loves you even more. God Bless

		Megan Hermreck - April 29, 2010 03:56 PM *** Dawn ***** I spoke with you for a quick minute at the Salt Lake City concert about how your song Desperate really spoke to my heart and with the loss of my son. Then you shared how you loss your brother. I was shocked by your comment and knew the pain that my family has endured and I was unable to tell you how sorry I am for loss too. You told me sorry but I was a bit star struck and nervous and on the edge of my own tears I didn't get to say sorry to you for your loss. But I do rejoice with you knowing that your brother and my son are with our King and are complete in Jesus Glory. My daughter Aubrey (8yrs) wasn't able to make it but I told her about your loss of your brother. Well, then I found an aritcle on Christianity today called I had to be the perfect Christian. It was there that I read that you were 6 yrs old. My oldest Aubrey was 6 when Colton passed away with us all in the car on the way to the hospital! It was very unexpected and tragic. I read the article to Aubrey and it was amazing to see that this band we listen to has something in common with her/us. You were 6 and lost your brother and you were sad,confused and angry at God. All of what Aubrey has been dealing with. Then we told Aubrey look how God has used Dawn to share the hope we have in Jesus and His love above all! And we have shared that Gods ways are not our ways and to see you have that in your article. Aubrey had heard us say that to her. We always share with our kids that God will use Colton's passing as a way of bringing those to Him,that they will be able to help a friend and share with them the hope we have in Jesus! Aubrey is still growing in her faith and I just thank the Lord for you and Fireflight and that you just keep rockin it out for Jesus! Living for Him... Who died for Me

		Lindsey :) - April 12, 2010 06:37 PM the song desperate really spoke to me about an experience only about few months ago. i had to undergo knee surgery if i ever wanted to run again...not very fun. i got so fed up with the pain, the therapy and not being able to do much that one day i was like, "Papa, i cant take this any more. why did this have to happen? im desperate for your help right now!!!" the recovery was slow but well worth it. (Christ is the only reason i can run track now ;) what God taught me was that you should really be grateful for what you have, cuz you dont know what you got till its gone. anyway, all your songs have made an impact on my life...i really want to thank you for spreading His word thorough music. keep on rockin' :):):):)
