Hungry

We are fainting for your presence

Lord we crave to taste and see

To savor the sweet flavor

Of your holy delicacy.

To drink the living libation-

Water of life flowing free

Our mouths would taste the total truth

Taste your goodness, Lord, and see.

With our bodies, Thee we worship

With our souls we shall declare

What our minds will never cease to know

With our whole hearts we will share.

Like a beggar that has found good bread

We will not keep our peace

We will pass it on to others

And their hunger will increase.

When we eat of this your body

And we feast upon your meal

We are satisfied but in return

We want more than our fill

Paradox of satisfaction

Mixed with hunger so sublime

We will ever seek to taste of you

In a way that transcends time.
