Carman - Hunger For Holiness Lyrics
There's a silent war that's raging deep within meMy lower nature fights to dominateMy spirit man is poised and locked in battleWith the carnal side of me I've grown to hate.The trumpet of my prayers plays toward HeavenA voice of desperation in my cryLord, strengthen me that I might not yield myself to sinBut keep Your righteous banner lifted high.CHORUSLord, I hunger for holinessAnd I thirst for the righteousness that's YoursThat my mind would be cleansedAnd my spirit renewedAnd this temple that You dwell in would be pure.The tempter stalks about me as a lionSearching for the slightest scent of bloodFor when the skin of my resistance is brokenHe moves in swiftly to deepen the cut.Oh, Lord of all Creation, hear Your servantYou understand the weaknesses of man.I'm counting myself crucified with JesusAlive to Christ and dead indeed to sin.CHORUS
