Helen Baylor - Hunger For Holiness lyrics

There's a silent war that's raging deep within My lower nature fights to dominate My spirit man is poised and locked in battle With the carnal side of me, I've grown to hate The trumpet of my prayers play towards Heaven A voice of desperation in my cry Lord, strengthen me that I might not yield myself to sin But keep Your righteous banner lifted high Lord, I hunger for holiness And I thirst for the righteousness that's Yours That my mind would be cleansed and my spirit renewed And this temple that You dwell in would be pure The tempter stalks about me as a lion Searching for the slightest sense of blood For when the skin of my resistance is broken He moves in swiftly to deepen the cut The Lord of creation, hear Your servant You understand the weakness of man I'm counting myself crucified with Jesus Alive to Christ and dead indeed to sin Lord, I hunger for holiness And I thirst for the righteousness that's Yours That my mind would be cleansed and my spirit renewed And this temple that You dwell in Yes, this temple that You dwell in Lord, I hunger for holiness And I thirst for the righteousness that's Yours That my mind would be cleansed and my spirit renewed And this temple that You dwell in would be pure Lord, I hunger Lord, I hunger for holiness For holiness
