Hollow

I hold it in my hands,
my mouth watering in delight.
I thought it would be hard,
but there really was no fight.

It looked so good to me,
I was sure it would be filling,
but when I took a bite,
inside me, began the killing.

A hollow life I once did live,
so futile and disappearing.
My mind played tricks on me
until I started hearing.

His voice called out in darkness
words so soft and gentle
to turn and face my fears
is really all this simple.

Accepting Jesus as my Lord
and not just the same old thing,
changed my heart completely
now with praises can I sing.

No longer am I hollow
now I'm fulfilled inside
Join with me why don't you
in this life I freely ride.
