Eat the Word

I'm eating all the lyrics on the pages that I see
My hungry soul digesting it, not always easily
There is a right and wrong I didn't know if you had heard
But greedy is correct when it comes to the Word
I get it in the morning and I shove it down at noon
I take a chunk at dinner with my big fat spoon
I'm never really satisfied I know it sounds absurd
But I'm starving, I'm afflicted, I'm addicted to the Word

I'm gonna eat the Word
I'm gonna eat it got a hunger in my soul
It's time to feed it got a big black hole
I really don't need it but to feed my greed
What I need is to go and eat the Word
I'm gonna read it got a hunger in my soul
It's time to feed it got a big black hole
I really don't need it but to feed my greed
What I need is to go and eat the Word

Sometimes it's cold, sometimes it's hot
Sometimes I'm hungry, sometimes I'm not
Other times I feel like I just can't bear
Another day another week of pulling out my hair
But I can't trust my feelings 'cause they come and go
When the rubber hits the road is when I just need to know
For certain and i'm left with no doubt
I pick up the book and I read the words out

Deep inside I've got a hunger
There is no one else can satisfy my soul
Every day you make me stronger
Nothing else can make me whole
