Hunger

Hunger

 

Satiate the vacuum in me
Fill it with your living waters
Rinse my soul with the sea of forgetfulness
Dry my tears with the hem of your gown
I am here and I wait.

Rain upon me like drops of dew at dawn
Cause my spirit to bud and blossom
I will wrap my being around you
I will wrestle with angels for a single word from you
I am here and I wait.

Chariots of love charge toward me
Pierce me with love for my savior
Empty your quiver, pierce me until I succumb
Let my heart be your target, my center your resting place
I am here and I wait.

My cries will pierce all of eternity in praise to You
I will break free and fly and prostrate my brokenness at your thrown
I will reach for your emerald glory
I will beg for the balm of Gilead
Here am I….I have received my portion.
