My heart was far from You

My heart was far from You.

My worship was not true.

My lips were honoring Thee

But I was so empty.

Lord

help me! Have mercy!

Lord

now deliver me!

All else is vanity.

You are reality!

Traditions are a lie.

Mere practice can’t satisfy.

No matter how hard you try

Inside you feel so dry.

Lord water me! I’m so thirsty!

I come to drink of Thee.

You are the Spirit of life

To free me from all strive.

The doctrines and the creeds

Have never met my needs.

The letters have killed me dead

My need is Living Bread.

Lord

feed me! I’m so hungry!

I come to eat of Thee.

Your Person now I can take.

The Living Word partake.

I need You desperately

To get You into me!

I drink You as the Spirit

Lord

And eat You in the Word.

I’m satisfied! And You’re testified!

There is no lack in Thee.

You are the river and the tree

My feast eternally.
