Lyrics: Consuming

(Philippians 4: 11-13)

Contentment is essentially a matter of accepting from God’s hand what he sends because we know that He is good and therefore it is good. – J. I. Packer

This leaves me feeling unsatisfied
I’m feeling unsatisfied
‘Cause I’m consuming for the sake of
Consuming for the sake of

So often, I don’t take the time
I never seem to get it right

Instead of savoring
Each morsel
I cram it all into
My mouth at once

Feeling unsatisfied
I’m feeling unsatisfied
‘Cause I’m consuming for the sake of
Consuming for the sake of
Consumption

Rather than consuming for
The sake of nourishment
I consume to pay for my lack
Of contentment

This leaves me feeling unsatisfied
I’m feeling unsatisfied
‘Cause I’m consuming for the sake of
Consuming for the sake of
Consumption

Consume, we consume
The spoils of sin
Like sugar, the taste is sweet, yet seductive

This leaves me feeling unsatisfied
I’m feeling unsatisfied
‘Cause I’m consuming for the sake of
Consuming for the sake of
Feeling unsatisfied
I’m done with feeling unsatisfied
I’m done
Consuming for the sake of
Consumption

I’m done
