A God-Shaped Hole

God Shaped Hole   by Plumb

Every point of view has another angle
And every angle has its merit
But all comes down to faith
That's the way I see it

You can say that love is not divine and
You can say that life is not eternal
"all we have is know"
But i don't believe it

There's a god-shaped hole in all of us

 And the restless soul is searching
There's a god-shaped hole in all of us
And it's a void only he can fill

Does the world seem gray 
with empty longing
Wearing every shade of cynical
And do you ever feel that
There is something missing?

There are so many things in this world that people use to fill the emptiness that resides in their hearts...success, food, alcohol or drugs, friends, entertainment, etc.  But God is the only one who can truly satisfy all our deepest longings.  He's the only one who can fill every void.

He is the only one.

Lord, thank you for your unfailing love and your wonderful deeds for men, for you satisfies the thirsty and fill the hungry with good things.  There is a god-shaped hole in each of our hearts, and when we ask you into our lives, you fill every nook and cranny, and take away the void.  I pray, Lord, that Alyssa and Kyle look to you to fill every hunger and thirst in their souls.  Protect them from looking to other things to take away any emptiness, fear, loneliness, or pain.  Only you satisfy.  Only you.  May our children look to you, dear Jesus, to fill the god-shaped hole in their heart.
