Not By Bread Alone

I hunger for Your Word, Oh Lord.
In all the world, I cling
To the wisdom and instruction
Your Word alone can bring.
 
It feeds a soul weary of pain
And burdened with great care.
It is the fount from which love flows,
It’s hope, amidst despair.
 
It’s all the food that my soul craves,
The water of life’s flow.
Please help me live within Your Word
And help my faith to grow.
 
Lord, I will feed my hungry soul
Upon Your Word each day
And hold it closely in my heart
That I may never stray.
 
Deuteronomy 8:3
And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
