HUNGER FOR HOLINESS Lyrics

There is a silent war that is 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 have grown to hate

The trumpet of my prayers play toward heaven

With 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 is Yours

That my mind would be cleansed

And my spirit renewed

And this temple that you dwell in would be pure

Yes Lord

Yes Lord

Oh yes Lord

The tempter stalks about me as a lion

Searching for the slightest scent of blood

For when the skin of my resistance is broken

He moves in swiftly to deepen the cut

Oh Lord of all creation hear your servant

You understand the weaknesses of man

I am counting myself crucified with Jesus

Alive to Christ and dead indeed to sin

Lord I hunger for holiness

And I thirst for the righteousness that is Yours

That my mind would be cleansed

And my spirit renewed

And this temple that you dwell in would be pure

Yes Lord

Yes Lord

Oh yes Lord

Touch me Lord

Yeah

Touch me Lord

Oh

Touch me Lord

My soul says yes

Yes

Yes

Reach down and touch me Lord

Oh

My soul says yes
