Hunger For Holiness Lyrics

There's a silent war that's raging deep within
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

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
Yes, this temple that You dwell in

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

Lord, I hunger
Lord, I hunger for holiness
For holiness
