My heart was far from You

My heart was far from You.
My worship was not true.
My lips were honoring Thee
But I was so empty.

Traditions are a lie.
Mere practice can’t satisfy.
No matter how hard you try
Inside you feel so dry.

The doctrines and the creeds
Have never met my needs.
The letters have killed me dead
My need is Living Bread.

I need You desperately
To get You into me!
I drink You as the Spirit, Lord,
And eat You in the Word.
