about

For me this song refers to busyness and screens... but there are so many ways that we block out the awareness of our own need for intimacy with God.

lyrics

Lord I thirst for you, I long for you;
like a dried up land for rain, a starving child for food.
Lord, this is my own doing, I've brought it on myself:
buying food that won't satisfy and digging broken wells.

It's like I'm blind to the needs of my heart
and deaf to the cries of my soul.
Numbed by the calls of this world
to deny what makes me whole.
Caught in a web of my own making,
lost in a barren waste:
I could be at home with you, instead of in this place.

Lord, please help me leave behind the trinkets of this life:
all the lure of its applause, the noise of all its strife.
Lord, untangle these smaller aims from the call you've placed on me.
Only you can bring me round to where I need to be...
