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.
