God-Shaped Hole

I redis- covered these lyrics today, inspired by the worship talk our chaplain gave to the high school students this morning. He was talking about our need as humans to fill a void in our lives and I was reminded of this song a student shared with me several years ago. When I Googled it, I not only found the words (by Plumb) but also the actual music. I must admit, I didn't like the music, but I love the words:

Every point of view has another angle

And every angle has its merit.

But it all comes down to faith

That’s the way I see it.

You can say that love is not divine and

You can say that life is not eternal.

"All we have is now."

But I don't believe it.

There's a God-shaped hole in all of us

And the restless soul is searching.

There's a God-shaped hole in all of us

And it's a void only He can fill.

Does the world seem gray with empty longing,

Wearing every shade of cynical?

And do you ever feel that

There is something missing?

There's a God-shaped hole in all of us

And the restless soul is searching.

There's a God-shaped hole in all of us

And it's a void only He can fill.

That's my point of view...
