Hunger and Thirst

It's a far, far cry
From where I began
But it's farther still
To the man I should be
From the man than I am
I could choose to live my life
Where contentment calls best
But this starving heart
That has tasted truth
Will not let me rest

So I reach for more
As with empty hands
Knowing holiness
Far exceeds the grasp
Of a mortal man
Still the victory is not
What waits at the end
But the thirst itself
And the hunger felt
Is striving for Him

Gotta set my heart
And mind on what will only
Help me to feel
And think more like Him
Whatever things are good
Whatever's pure and holy
That's what I'm living to find

Gotta hunger and thirst after righteousness
Forever seeking His will
Hunger and thirst after righteousness
We shall forever be filled
We shall be filled

What my life will show
All I do and say
Will depend upon
What I let my heart
Eat and drink each day
I must turn my eyes away
Where the tables are spread
For the feast of foods
To hunger and thirst
For Jesus instead

Gotta set my heart
And mind on what will only
Help me to feel
And think more like Him
Whatever things are good
Whatever's pure and holy
That's what I'm living to find

Gotta hunger and thirst after righteousness
Forever seeking His will
Hunger and thirst after righteousness
We shall forever be filled
We shall be filled

Gotta set my heart
And mind on what will only
Help me to feel
And think more like Him
Whatever things are good
Whatever's pure and holy
That's what I'm living to find

Gotta hunger and thirst after righteousness
Forever seeking His will
Hunger and thirst after righteousness
We shall forever be filled

Gotta hunger and thirst after righteousness
Forever seeking His will
Hunger and thirst after righteousness
We shall forever be filled
We shall be filled

Hunger and thirst after righteousness
Mmm, gotta hunger and thirst...
