Hunger After You

v.1
Lord make me humble,
Like a broken reed.
Loosen the bonds
Of evil in me.
Let me divide,
My bread with the hungry.
And Lord let me hunger after you.

v.2
Lord, let me share,
My house with the homeless.
And where I see affliction,
Lord, let me satisfy.
Lord let my light,
Rise in the morning.
And Lord let me hunger after you.

(chorus)
You always guide me,
And satisfy me,
You ever strengthen my bones.
You make me like,
A watered garden,
And a never failing spring.
But only when I hunger after you.

    "I find Marc Heinrich’s music moving and his lyrics faithful to Scripture, sobered with the real world of suffering, and creative in expression. I am happy to say: Listen and learn and be drawn further up and further in to God’s presence."

    John Piper
    Pastor for Preaching & Vision
    Bethlehem Baptist Church
    Minneapolis, MN


    "I love Further Up and Further In Music because I love Marc Heinrich. Marc is a man with a powerful gift for songwriting who loves Jesus and the local church. His lyrics are always thoughtful and theologically robust, driving us to the supremacy of Christ and the glory of the gospel."

    R W Glenn

    Pastor of Preaching & Vision
    Redeemer Bible Church
    Minnetonka, MN


    "Is that dirge they're playing one of yours Heinrich? It's not too bad." (on hearing the worship team run Only Jesus)

    "Marc is a very funny guy and a good friend. But neither of those reasons tell you why I appreciate his songs. Marc uses language and music in a creative way to express genuine struggles and joys in light of a sovereign, gracious Redeemer."
