I wrote this song as part of the Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge in 2020. The challenge that month was to write a worship song that could be used as part of Lent.
Lent is a 40-day period of time leading up to Easter where Christians remember the time Jesus went into the wilderness to pray and fast. It often involves the person giving something up, or fasting, for 40 days themselves.
So this song explores the longing and thirsting of the soul for more of Jesus during this time. As we fast, we should be seeking to be filled with more of the Holy Spirit. It is ultimately Jesus who can satisfy the longing of our souls.
