Lyrics
You say to us seek Your face
Our hearts reply, Your face we seek
Come teach us Lord, reveal Your ways
Anoint us for the greater things
We have gathered with one thirst and hunger
We're here to drink of glory and wonder
Here to cry out
Come and fill this place
Come and fill this place
Our single wish, our sole desire
To gaze upon Your beauty God
We've gathered with one thirst and hunger
We're here to drink of glory and wonder
Here to cry out
Come and fill this place
We wait for you to come and show your glory here today
We wait for you to come and show your glory here today
We wait for you
We wait for you
We wait for you
We wait for you
Halleluia come
Halleluia come
Halleluia come
Halleluia come
Come, come

Meaning & Inspiration
“One Thirst And Hunger” is a prayer for God’s presence shaped by a single desire: to seek His face and behold His beauty. The opening response closely reflects Psalm 27, where seeking God’s face becomes both invitation and answer. Gathering with shared thirst and hunger expresses spiritual dependence rather than self-sufficiency, while the repeated plea to fill the place gives the song a patient, expectant posture.
The language of drinking in glory and wonder uses thirst as an image for longing after God. Its focus stays less on receiving a particular outcome than on knowing God, learning His ways, and seeing His glory. The repeated waiting does not sound passive; it becomes sustained worship, reinforced by the recurring call of “Halleluia come.” Together, these lines portray a community attentive to God and ready for His work. The song’s simplicity serves its prayerful theme, returning again and again to presence, holy desire, and undivided devotion.
