“Desperate For You” is one of the tracks on “The Dawn” album by Dr. John Mo, released in June, 2022. The song was birthed while longing and meditating on the inestimable values of His presence.
Dr. John Mo says: “I have come to realize there is nothing like the presence of God in a man and with the same man. It makes a man’s life a sign and a wonder with dimensionless possibilities.
“Thus, craving for more of God and the in-filling of the Holy Spirit is an endless experience in the lives of desperate believers. As desperate people, the song “Desperate For You” is an expression of this passion and hunger in our hearts.
“I like to describe this song as deep, warming, and contagious. Truly, there is a craving one gets when listening to this melody. Please do and be blessed.”
“Taking a trip down memory lane and now, I see how far God has brought me and how dependable He’s been since I gave my life to Jesus. The song “Living On You” is inspired by a desperate intention to express my satisfaction as a Branch that depends and lives on Jesus – the Vine, without any regrets and recourse to any other god.
“The song is a contemporary blend of soft rock, jazz and classic melodies, which can light up a man’s spirit with a soul-touching feel. You can’t just listen and not be blessed with this tune. Thank you, Jesus!” – Dr John Mo.
