So Many Books - Michael Card

There is a hunger, a longing for bread

And so comes the call for the poor to be fed

More hungry by far are a billion and more

Who wait for the Bread of the Word of the Lord

So many books, so little time, so many hunger, so many blind

Starving for words, they must wait in the night

To open a Bible and move towards the Light

There’ll come a time, the prophets would say

When the joy of mankind will be withered away

A want not for water, but a hunger for more

A famine for hearing the Word of the Lord

So many books, so little time, so many hunger, so many blind

Starving for words, they must wait in the night

To open a Bible and move towards the Light

Open a Bible and move towards the Light

The Word won’t go out, except it return

Full, over flowing and so we must learn

So many books, so little time, so many hunger, so many blind

Starving for words, they must wait in the night

To open a Bible and move towards the Light

Open a Bible and move towards the Light

Open a Bible and move towards the Light
