Hungry Heart

Look at the hungry heart

It knows where to start

It links with the soul

It makes life whole

It sees every dream

Strange though it may seem

It feels the love

Coming from heaven above

It travels far

Without receiving a scar

It gives as good as it gets

Without any regrets

It learns to smile

Even laugh a little while

It shares what it knows

As the beat consistently grows

It continues to pray

It sees God’s way

And it rests in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

The hungry heart

Is very rare

It knows God is there

It sits still

As it accepts God’s will

It stands on principles

As God works miracles

It removes every cloud

It makes everyone proud

It acts as a guide

Something no one can hide

It plants seeds

To very good deeds

It feels God’s power

Hour after hour

It does a victory dance

Whenever it gets a chance

It sees purpose

As it rises to the surface

It has a word

Which is all we’ve heard

It embraces every journey

Meant for the soul only

It truly believes

It sees what it achieves

We see where to start

With a hungry heart

Lost One

The lost one sees every day

He tries to see God’s way

He continues to travel alone

Wondering what’s in stone

He grapples with fear

Wondering if God is near

He searches for peace of mind

Which is hard to find

He longs for the love

Coming from heaven above

He looks all around

Wondering what he’s found

He looks in his heart

While deciding where to start

He longs for a home

Where his soul can roam

He tries not to cry

He often wonders why

And he doesn’t know

Which way to go

The lost one tries to be free

He wonders what’s meant to be

He looks at his naysayers

While saying his prayers

Then searches for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

He wants direction

He longs for protection

He tries to be strong

Whether he’s right or wrong

He deals with his sorrow

He wonders about tomorrow

He wonders what’s real

What he should conceal

He thinks about faith indeed

As he plants every seed

He longs to speak

He tries to reach his peak

He wants something pure

He longs to feel secure

He’s a lost one
