A HUNGER UNFED
Angst of unfed hunger prevails
Beseeches God to fill the need
Hoping truth of compassion creed
To work well, shutting woe-filled wails.
Wrestling amidst rigorous plight
Heart yearns that unfed hunger end
With heaven to open and send
Ticket toward triumphant flight.
Communing with the Lord brings joy
Smiting grievous sorrow and pain
Stopping unfed hunger to reign
Over worry’s doubt that annoy.
Supplication to Christ for grace
With earnest faith of praise-filled shout
satisfies hunger* without doubt
as soul finds peace in His embrace.
Intimacy with gracious King
Tied to His contentment delight
Suffices hunger against blight
Of grievous greed that keeps on lurking.
Around the Saviour’s caring vow
The spirit claims fulfillment-zest
Assured of great miracles' best
Since a hunger unfed dies now!!!
*Matthew 5:6-9 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
