Oh, I Hunger, Lord, for You | A Cappella Appalachian Hymn

A slow, devotional, rustic hymn in pure human voices, shaped by old Appalachian harmony and warm vocal quartet singing. No instruments of any kind - only reverent a cappella praise. Inspired by Scripture: Matthew 4:4 Matthew 5:6 Matthew 6:11 Matthew 6:25-34 Deuteronomy 8:3 Psalm 63:1-5 Psalm 107:8-9 John 6:35 John 6:48-51 Philippians 4:11-13 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Hebrews 13:15-16 Lyrics: [Verse 1] When my heart is full of longing, When my cravings lead me wrong, Lord, You call me into stillness, Teach my soul a humbler song. In the hush of mountain mercy, All my restless hunger dies, For the feast You spread before me Fills my heart and clears my eyes. [Chorus] Oh, I hunger, Lord, for You, Oh, I hunger, Lord, for You. Not the bread that fades away, But the Bread of life that's true. Oh, I hunger, Lord, for You, Oh, I hunger, Lord, for You. Take my wanting, take my wandering, Make my heart be fixed on You. [Verse 2] When the world is loud with plenty, When my flesh would take control, You remind me through my fasting You alone can feed my soul. Every gift becomes a blessing When I lift my thanks in prayer, And the table of Your kindness Meets me in my deepest care. [Chorus] Oh, I hunger, Lord, for You, Oh, I hunger, Lord, for You. Not the bread that fades away, But the Bread of life that's true. Oh, I hunger, Lord, for You, Oh, I hunger, Lord, for You. Take my wanting, take my wandering, Make my heart be fixed on You. [Bridge] Teach me gratitude in plenty, Teach me trust in seasons lean. Let my heart be ever steady, Let my worship stay serene. For the feast of earthly comfort Cannot satisfy my soul, But Your love, forever faithful, Is the feast that makes me whole. [Final Chorus] Oh, I hunger, Lord, for You, Oh, I hunger, Lord, for You. Not the bread that fades away, But the Bread of life that's true. Oh, I hunger, Lord, for You, Oh, I hunger, Lord, for You. Take my wanting, take my wandering, Make my heart be fixed on You. #Acapella #AppalachianHymn #ChristianMusic #WorshipSong #ShapeNote #VocalHarmony #VocalQuartet #GospelHarmony
