Famine of the Word

There is no lack of bread

Or clean water to drink

The people are well fed

At least that’s what they think


But if the Living Word of Life

Is nowhere to be found

They stagger, lost within their strife

And are to broken cisterns bound


His clarion call is our vocation

The Power of God’s Word

Is the power for salvation

To those who have heard


We do not live by bread alone

We have no life within ourselves

We hunger for this Bread unknown

And water flowing from God’s Well


So eat of this Word and be set free

Released from the harrowed pit

The Living Word brings liberty

Now to the Word of Life submit


His clarion call is our vocation

The Power of God’s Word

Is the power for salvation

To those who have heard


Amos 8:11-12
