Appetite

Inspired by Ben Glover’s song “My Only Hope” off the Album “26 Letters”

Pre Chorus:
Whatever I am hungry for is what I feed and I know that this world won’t fill me up
But I admit that the world has been feeding me lies for so long that I and becoming full
I am starting to believe the lies and I find myself being the one that cries
I do not mean to feed my appetite for sin but I find myself feeding it anyway

Chorus:
The media feeds me things that will only kill me and I find myself justifying my actions based on what the world
tells me
I have been hurt so many times by what this world offers me but I realize I can no longer feel what is right and
wrong
This makes it really hard for me to do what is right unless I feed my appetite with things that bring me life
I choose to bring myself to the living water and I choose to feed myself with things that are of you.

Verse 1:
I am not going to feed my appetite for sin anymore because I am realizing how embarrassed I feel after I have
been made a laughing stock of the world
There is only one thing that will save me and you have all the answers for the world’s questions
I will read your word and filter out all the things that aren’t of you because I know you will fulfill me
and I know that you will bring me life when this world gives me death disguised as life

Verse 2:
So many times have I turned away from life and soaked in the things of the world
I will put my foot down and take a stand for what I know is right and I will wonder anymore
If there is any doubt within my mind I will not do it, and I make this declaration
I cannot live a life of condemnation because I have been forgiven for my transgressions
