Gaither Vocal Band's 'Lord, Feed Your Children' is a live gospel song expressing spiritual hunger and dependence on God. The lyrics use imagery of an empty vessel and barren soul to convey a deep longing for divine nourishment. The singer asks God to feed His children from the table of life and drink from the fountain flowing from the mountain, referencing the River of Life. The song echoes biblical themes of spiritual thirst and God's provision, similar to passages like Psalm 42 and Revelation 22. It is a prayerful plea for sustenance and fulfillment from the Father's supply.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

My vessel is empty,

Though once I had plenty,

My soul is barren and dry;

Somewhere flows a Fountain, 

Beyond distance mountain,

Let me drink from the River of Life.


Lord, feed Your children as we stand here willing 

to eat from the table of life;

Drink from the Fountain that flows from the mountain.

Let me feast from the Father's supply.


So long I have hungered;

No man could number 

The days that I've longed to be

In a land filled with honey,

Where the rivers are runnin';

Very soon now will I taste and see. 


Drink from the Fountain that flows from the mountains

When we feast from the Father's supply.
