Hunger

The song traces a turn from a cautious, self-protective life to one thrown open by mercy. The opening lines admit to keeping everything on a "one-way street," limiting what could be received, until the singer discovers on the other side "mercy and grace and the love of my life." That discovery becomes the engine of the chorus, which asks who could possibly match this hunger and thirst and answers itself with gratitude: there is no need to wonder whether God will come through. A second verse looks back at the person before this meeting — missing so much without knowing it — and settles on the simple truth that all that is needed is God. The bridge shifts from longing to companionship, listing the ordinary ways the divine shows up: walking, talking, laughing, crying, riding along, taking time. The repeated question in the chorus is less a challenge to others than an expression of insatiable appetite for more of what has already been found. The song ends where it began, circling back to the same grateful certainty, with the hunger itself becoming a form of worship.
