Starving Sinner, Sleeping Saint

Starving sinner

Sleeping saint

One I am

And one I ain't

I wish I knew

What I'm going through

I don't know which one is worse

One's a sin and one's a curse

Can't rationalize

My family ties

Maybe there's a world of starving people

That can't be fed by pointed steeples

But need love

And a little help from above

Maybe there's a world of cruising Christians

Too busy preaching their own religion

To stop, look, listen to the Lord

Starving sinner

Sleeping saint

Wish I could

But know I can't

Give half the life

You gave to me

Hunger for the Word is great

But sleeping on it is second rate

I want to be

Yours for eternity

Maybe there's a world of starving people

That can't be fed by pointed steeples

But need love

And a little help from above

Maybe there's a world of cruising Christians

Too busy preaching their own religion

to stop, look, listen to the Lord

Maybe there's a world of starving people

That can't be fed by pointed steeples

But need love

And a little help from above

Maybe there's a world of cruising Christians

Too busy preaching their own religion

to stop, look, listen to the Lord
