The Hunger Stays - Margaret Becker

Hunger stays, hunger stays

I’ve been thinking about what I’ve been through

All the good times, all the bad

And anywhere in between the two

There runs a common thread

Some call it a condition

A hidden chasm that will never fill up

A constant thirst for Your presence

A longing for Your love

The hunger stays, I keep on reaching

The hunger stays, I keep on seeking

The hunger stays through the blessing

Through the bleeding, the hunger stays

I’ve seen Your rivers in my heart

Seen Your miracles time after time

And when I think I can’t take anymore

I see there’s so much more to find

The hunger stays, I keep on reaching

The hunger stays, I keep on seeking

The hunger stays through the blessing

Through the bleeding, the hunger stays

I will seek till I can seek no more

I won’t give up until I find You Lord

'Cause a hungry man does not pick and choose

He just goes where there’s bread

And he keeps pressing through

The hunger stays, I keep on reaching

The hunger stays, I keep on seeking

The hunger stays through the blessing

Through the bleeding, the hunger stays
