Hungering and Thirsting After the Real Thing
What and who is this almighty God?
He has no beginning and is everlasting
consider what His word says of His person
His son Jesus reveals Him in everything
God is real with a powerful effect
for He speaks in His authoritative word
this word can cut us to the quick
so thorough that our souls are stirred
The Lord God Himself makes us hunger
giving us such desire upon Him alone
for only God can really truly satisfy
as in Jesus whose sacrifice did atone
Without receiving the real spiritual drink
we faint with thirst for that cup
Jesus alone fills our parched soul
then we know His way takes us up
Are you in contact with the real thing?
is it just religion or is Jesus real?
look deep for evidence of a genuine touch
be sure you've found the divine seal
(Quotation: “We can know if we have encountered the real God if we are deeply hungry and thirsty for him. The sense of his absence, the dissatisfaction with his absence, is evidence that he has touched you.”
- quotation by Tim Keller (1950-now) Pastor and Minister.)
