Hungering for


Matthew 5:6 New English Translation (NET Bible)

6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.

 

Often we ask Christ for the Light, but it lives in good works

We pray to be enlightened by keep just sitting in a pew

We sing our songs with emotion and hang on to heart and soul

While true praise to The Lord in Heaven shows in what we do

 

Recipients of The Love that flows from Christ through us to them

As such, they will thank and glorify our God with grateful hearts

So for us to shine in darkness is in the resurrection to die to self

And let the Fire of God’s Love perform Christ’s righteousness in part
