Tell me how can a hole
claim such an emptiness?

A hole to be filled in
but with just what?

The emptiness inside
the blackness within.

We try and try
then try again.

Relationships, glory,
drugs and food.

Additions to what
we try ourselves to do.

But nothing stops
the hunger within.

Round and round
and down we go again.

Sinking deeper and deeper
within the hole.

Only Jesus can fill
that longing within.

Only He can fill
that emptiness within.

No more darkness,
only light.
In the sweet name of Jesus
do we find light.
