Are You Hungry? by Janet Martin © 2009 There's a hollowness inside me That this world just cannot fill, Though temptations here have tried me And often try me still It's an endless hopeless yearning With a void that grows so wide, Reaching, turning, reaching, turning, Yet not ever satisfied, There is nothing I can buy it And there's nothing I can do, I can't seem to satisfy it In my quest the whole day through, And the voice that used to whisper Sweet assurance in my ear Has been drowned out by a master That rules with greed and fear, So I run with frantic panting And I stumble in my haste, I'm about to start a-ranting, Fretting life is naught but waste, When I cry in desperation To the One that once I knew, To the Ruler of creation Who has mercies ever new, I begged for sweet fulfilling, For relief from all my woe, And I told Him I was willing To stop searching and let go, But when I cried, Lord, fill me As I looked up to the sky, I felt His Presence still me As I heard his reply, ARE YOU HUNGRY? My drink is living water, I am the Living Bread Will I be your desire? Will you feed on Me instead? Will My Word be your lantern? A lamp unto your feet, Will you drink from My cistern Where the water is so sweet? Will you fulfill your craving By feeding on My Word? Eat my Bread that's living And all men can afford |
