Darren Winfield - Hunger for Righteousness: Fulfilled Lyrics

In the desert of my soul, where I seek to be made whole,
I hunger for the righteousness that's Yours.
Like a land parched and dry, to Your springs of life,
I cry, Thirsting for the justice that endures.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst,
For righteousness, they shall be immersed.
In the river of Your justice, in the rain of Your truth,
Their deepest longing met, in the dawn of Your proof.
In a world where wrong seems right, in the shadows of the night,
I hunger for the light of Your pure way.
With every beat of my heart, let Your righteousness impart,
A thirst for holy living every day.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst,
For righteousness, they shall be immersed.
In the river of Your justice, in the rain of Your truth,
Their deepest longing met, in the dawn of Your proof.
For every cry of the oppressed, every moment of distress,
May Your righteousness come down like a mighty stream.
Let justice roll, let mercy pour, till we hunger no more,
In the satisfaction of the righteous dream.
So, I'll seek first Your kingdom, where righteousness is freedom,
Trusting in Your promise to be filled.
For those who long to see, Your kingdom of purity,
In their hearts, Your righteousness instilled.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst,
For righteousness, they shall be immersed.
In the river of Your justice, in the rain of Your truth,
Their deepest longing met, in the dawn of Your proof.
In the hunger of my plea, in the thirst, You set me free,
Satisfied in righteousness, blessed to be Your guest.
Blessed, oh blessed, with a holy zest,
In Your righteousness, forever at rest.
