A Famine of the Living Bread - Amos 8: 11,12

This prophesy came by the prophet Amos
standing telling the message of the Lord
that a severe famine was on the way
for judgement is coming by His mighty sword

The Lord will send a famine of the living bread
they'll search all over from east to west
run to and fro seeking the divine word
it'll not be found it is no jest

This is coming true even in our present day
as people have itching ears what they hear
not wanting the inerrant authorative truth
so they die of thirst for God's word so clear

Where is the clear clarying call?
the urgent important need of the hour
to send forth the Lord's prophetic word
so we receive a mighty spiritual shower

Plead to the Lord to please send it forth
His word that only can make us complete
this living bread for without it we'll die
pray to receive such wholesome meat


(Behold, the days are coming declares the Lord God,
  when I will send a famine on the land
not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
   but of hearing the words of the Lord.
They shall wander from sea to sea,
   and from north to east;
they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord,
   but they shall not find it.)
Amos ch. 8 vs 11,12 (ESV)
