I Hungered, In the Past

I hungered, in the past
And nothing satisfied
Each fulfillment didn't last
Now, I'm fed and dignified

Through prayer and meditation
I can seek to know the Lord's will
To achieve my destination
There's power to help me fulfill

My hearts desire is for love
Which I feel when I pray
May I give thanks to God above
For all that has come my way

In the morning, the Lord comes first
I'll start the day with gratitude
And, too I'll quench my thirst
Through study and solitude

For, in my mind and in my heart
Thoughts and feelings come to me
With strong impressions, I can start
To become the very best me.

And when this does not seem enough
I'll fast so faith will increase
For, the seas of life can be rough
And, I want to feel His sweet peace
