It’s a hole deep in our heart
That is craving to be filled,
With an everlasting peace
And for joy to be instilled.
And we try to fill this space
With possessions and with leisure,
Or with all things unfulfilling
So to satisfy our pleasures.
But this void cannot be filled
With temporary things on earth –
Since it’s eternal in its nature
And requires the new birth.
God cannot be mocked
And does not tempt his dear creation,
To be satisfied with lusts
And with all sinful of sensations.
His depth requires obedience
To worship in sincerity,
So the fibres of the God-shaped hole
Will forever cease to be.
That God shaped hole cannot remain
When Yeshua fills the void,
Since He’s the bridge connecting us to God
So second death we do avoid.
It’s a rich tapestry that mends
A heart that’s been forsaken,
And where joy will resonate
When His forgiveness it is taken.
Because only God can fill that hole
Since it’s the way it’s designed to be,
So we’re reconciled to His heart
And for all eternity.
