God Shaped Hole

Performed by: Plumb

Lyrics: Tiffany Lee Arbuckle, Wayne Kirkpatrick

Every point of view has another angle

And every angle has its merit

But it all comes down to faith

That's the way I see it

You can say that love is not divine and

You can say that life is not eternal

"All we have is now"

But I don't believe it

There's a God-shaped hole in all of us

And the restless soul is searching

There's a God-shaped hole in all of us

And it's a void only He can fill

Does the world seem grey with empty longing

Wearing every shade of cynical

And do you ever feel that

There is something missing?

There's a God-shaped hole in all of us

And the restless soul is searching

There's a God-shaped hole in all of us

And it's a void only He can fill

That's my point of view...

There's a God-shaped hole in all of us

And the restless soul is searching

There's a God-shaped hole in all of us

And it's a void

Only he can fill

Only he can fill

Thats my point of view

Thats my point of view, yeah

"The idea for this song was taken from a conversation two people once had regarding C.S. Lewis' quote, 'Emptiness is at the center of my being.' Augustine said it along this line, 'We have a God-shaped vacuum in us that can only be filled by Him.' There is in each of us a void, a missing part, that can only be filled by the completeness of Christ - nothing else. You can argue against this, but the true answer is that everything we try always ends up being only a temporary fix. God's love, on the other hand, is eternal, never-ending, and completely unconditional." ~ Tiffany Arbuckle (Plumb)
