God Shaped Hole

I'm sitting in Panera Bread right now doing some work, catching up on some reading, and listening to some worship music. I was reading the Word and the song "God Shaped Hole" by Ryan Phipps starting playing.

I almost started weeping in the middle of Panera Bread! This is one of my favorite songs and the truth found in the lyrics have changed my life. Here they are:

If I owned every kingdom in the world, I'd still need You inside of me.

If I climbed every mountain in the world, I'd still need You inside of me.

If I was better than every person in the world, I'd still need you inside of me.

And if I liked what the mirror said to me, I'd still need you inside of me. I'd still need you inside of me.

The more I live the more I see a God Shaped Hole inside of me.


I need to constantly remind myself of this truth... I have everything I need in Him. Regardless of what I do in life, what I achieve, and who I become...that will never take away my need from an intimate relationship with Him.
