I've been listening to Helen Baylor's "Hunger for Righteousness" song for the past couple of weeks. It has been the cry in my heart:
"There's a silent war that's raging deep within me
My lower nature fights to dominate
My spirit man is poised and locked in battle
With the carnal side of me, I've grown to hate
The trumpet of my prayers play towards Heaven
A voice of desperation in my cry
Lord, strengthen me that I might not yield myself to sin
But keep Your righteous banner lifted high
Lord, I hunger for holiness
And I thirst for the righteousness that's Yours
That my mind would be cleansed and my spirit renewed
And this temple that You dwell in would be pure
The tempter stalks about me as a lion
Searching for the slightest sense of blood
For when the skin of my resistance is broken
He moves in swiftly to deepen the cut
The Lord of creation, hear Your servant
You understand the weakness of man
I'm counting myself crucified with Jesus
Alive to Christ and dead indeed to sin"
What is your heart crying out for at this time?
