EMPTINESS


I AM CONSUMED BY A LARGE EMPTY SPACE

CONSUMED TO THE POINT THAT I CANNOT RACE

RACE TO FULFILL ALL MY DESIRES AND DREAMS

RACE TO FULFILL ALL MY WANTS AND NEEDS.

I NEED TO FILL THIS LARGE BLACK HOLE

I NEED THIS FULFILLMENT TO MAKE ME WHOLE

WHAT CAN I FILL THIS EMPTY HOLE WITH

FILL IT WITH JOKES AND A QUICK WIT

FILL IT WITH WEALTH AND GAIN OR SUCCESSFUL

POWER AND FAME

FILL IT WITH SADNESS AND DESPAIR OR HAPPINESS

AND BOUNTIFUL CHEER

FILL IT WITH HOPE AND JOY OR DEMONS THAT

PLOT TO DESTROY

WOULD I EVER FILL THIS EMPTY SPACE

OR WOULD I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO RUN THIS RACE

RACE TO A LINE THAT I CANNOT FINISH

RACE TO A START THAT WON’T DIMINISH

RACE TO THE END THAT I CANNOT DO ALONE

RACE TO A LIFE OF SADNESS AND GLOOM

THE SPACE IS FILLED FOR I FOUND THE LORD

HE FILLED THE EMPTY SPACE WITH GOODNESS AND MORE

MORE LOVE AND HAPPINESS THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE

MORE PEACE AND JOY THAT YOU CANNOT FATHOM.

I CAN NOW FINISH THE RACE FOR I AM NOT ALONE

JESUS MY LORD IS IN MY HOME

HOME IN MY HEART

HOME IN MY SOUL

HOME IN THE HOLE THAT WAS ONCE A LARGE EMPTY
SPACE

THANK YOU DEAR LORD FOR FILLING THIS SPACE.
