Holy Hunger

Lord, you create in man a searching, reaching heart

An instinct for eternity of which He is a part.

A concept of perfection we chose evil over good

We were separated from our source of spiritual food.

Lord you created in us a Holy Hunger

An emptiness that can't be filled by man

We are vessels now awaiting our outpouring

We are hungry to believe and understand.

When the power of the pressure of the world is closing in

Work in us a brokenness for there is death in sin.

The bread that we've been baking with love for all our life

Does not fill our hunger- it's only filled with strife

Lord you created in us a Holy Hunger

An emptiness that can't be filled by man

We are vessels now awaiting our outpouring

We are hungry to believe and understand.

Lord you created in us a Holy Hunger

An emptiness that can't be filled by man

We are vessels now awaiting our outpouring

We are hungry to believe and understand.
