Hunger and Thirst

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are those days when I can dance,

Rejoicing with delight.

Yet, other days I fear I’m lost

In darkness, thick as night.

 

It isn’t that the world has changed,

It’s just my point of view.

For I forget to keep my eyes

And thoughts focused You.

 

I wake up needing time with You,

But this world sets my pace,

And I get so caught up in life

My soul loses its place.

 

Then by the ending of the day

My thoughts are all awry

And I can barely think to pray,

Though I will always try.

 

I’m hungry, Lord, to hear Your voice,

I thirst for Your Word, too.

Help me not be so distracted

That I lose sight of You.

 

John 6:35

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
