Words and Music by Orin Johnson & Shannon Cerneka<\/p>\n
We are drowning in thirst,
\nFull to bursting, but empty;
\nAsking for daily bread,
\nBut taking more than we need.<\/p>\n
Empty our heart, O God
\nHelp us hunger and thirst for you
\nFill us with love and compassion
\nGuide us in your truth<\/p>\n
Though God calls us to love
\nIt’s our pride that compels us.
\nWe serve only ourselves
\nNot God nor our neighbors in need.<\/p>\n
Fill us, O God.
\nTake away our pride. Fill us with your love.
\nTake away our greed. Fill us with your love.
\nTake away our jealousy. Fill us with your love.
\nTake away our apathy. Fill us with your love.<\/p>\n
Bring us out to the sand,
\nIn the desert transform us.
\nStrip away all that we have.
\nAnd challenge our souls with your Word.<\/p>\n
