The Need Within
There's a need within each heart
Only God can supply;
A thirst within each soul
Only He can satisfy;
A restlessness and hunger
Nothing else can fill;
Only Christ can meet the need,
And whisper "peace be still."
Some try to fill the emptiness
With so many other things,
Never knowing the blessing
The Holy Spirit brings;
Oh the terrible tragedy
Of this eternal loss,
When such joyful blessings flow
At the foot of the cross.
Father, thank You
For supplying the need within,
As we come to know Christ,
And forgiveness of sin.
"For he satisfieth the longing soul,
and filleth the hungry soul with goodness."
(Ps.107:9)
