Upperroom’s “Desirable” transcends the confines of a worship song, transforming into a captivating exploration of longing, desire, and the unwavering pursuit of a connection with the divine. Through heartfelt lyrics, a captivating blend of musical styles, and a powerful message, the song becomes more than just a declaration; it’s an intimate journey of yearning, seeking the fulfillment found in a deeper connection with a higher power.
The song opens with a tender declaration: “Mi alma te anhela, como el ciervo al agua” (“My soul yearns for you, like the deer thirsts for water”).

The music swells with a sense of determination, incorporating elements of light and hope, reflecting the renewed pursuit of connection with the divine.
Desirable by UPPERROOM Lyrics
What did you see in me
To love me the way you do
So much patience
So much mercy
You made me desirable to you
Before I ever told you yes, you chose me
So much grace that I could not resist
I heard you say my name
You bought me with your blood
You made me desirable to you
Draw me to you Lord, to the chambers of your love
It’s the place where I am one with you
Draw me to you Lord, to the center of your heart
It’s the place where I belong in you
What did you see in me
To love me the way you do
So much patience
So much mercy
You made me desirable to you
Before I ever told you yes, you chose me
So much grace that I could not resist
I heard you say my name
You bought me with your blood
You made me desirable to you
Draw me to you Lord, to the chambers of your love
It’s the place where I am one with you
Draw me to you Lord, to the center of your heart
It’s the place where I belong in you
Draw me to you Lord, to the chambers of your love
It’s the place where I am one with you
Draw me to you Lord, to the center of your heart
It’s the place where I belong in you
Llévame Señor, a tus cámaras de amor
Donde me enamoro más de ti
Llévame Señor, dentro de tu corazón
Yo encuentro mi lugar en ti
Llévame Señor, a tus cámaras de amor
Donde me enamoro más de ti
Llévame Señor, dentro de tu corazón
Yo encuentro mi lugar en ti
Me quedo aquí Señor, en tus cámaras de amor
Donde me enamoro más de ti
Me quedo aquí Señor, dentro de tu corazón
