This message moves from hunger to action. A fast should loosen wicked bonds, clean speech, make room for mercy, and bring the inner walk back under YAHUAH's Word.

Lyrics

Take the plate
Lower the noise
This ain't for eyes
This for order
This for hearing again

YAHUAH less of me
YAHUAH more of You
YAHUAH cut this pride
At the root
We The Assembly

Empty plate full Ruach
Clear my ear tonight
Less of what I wanted
More of what is right
Empty plate full Ruach
Put this flesh in place
When the noise gets lower
I can seek Your face

Table gone quiet now the heart get loud
Every little want start showing out
What I called hunger start naming names
Comfort control escape acclaim
You led them hungry through the waste
Not just to hurt them but test their ways
Man don't live by the bread in hand
He live by every word You command
So when the plate go empty truth come through
What been leading me more than You
If every craving get yes too fast
Then flesh start acting like it rule this path
I need that pullback need that pause
Need appetite under higher laws
Not trying prove I'm strong for men
I'm trying get this inner me aligned again
This ain't punishing skin and bone
This making room for a cleaner tone
Lower the volume of what I chase
Till what remain is Your word and grace

Deuteronomy chapter eight verses two through three
YAHUAH thy ALUAH led thee
To humble thee and to prove thee
He humbled thee and suffered thee to hunger
Man doth not live by bread only

YAHUAH empty me
YAHUAH fill me true
YAHUAH order me
Ruach move
We The Assembly

And don't wear this ache like a badge outside
No drooping face full of secret pride
If the crowd gotta know then the fast went thin
Cause the eyes on them not the work within
Chosen fast break yokes not flex
Loose wicked bands then watch what's next
Take out the finger take out vain talk
Let mercy move where my feet walk
If my fast make me mean I missed the point
If my fast make me proud the line disjoint
If my tongue still sharp and my hands still tight
Then what really got brought to light
Some of us skip meals still feast on noise
Still gorge on anger still feed on voice
So I lay down food and the needless scroll
Tell my eyes sit still bring my thoughts back whole
Secret things in the secret place
Father see it all don't need my face
Reward ain't likes reward is clear
A cleaner walk and a quieter ear

Isaiah chapter fifty eight verses six and nine
Is not this the fast that I have chosen
To loose the bands of wickedness
Take away the putting forth of the finger and speaking vanity
Matthew chapter six verses seventeen through eighteen
Appear not unto men to fast
Thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly

Less of me
More of You
Cut this pride
At the root
Empty me
Fill me true
Order me
Ruach move
Less of noise
More of light
Still my wants
Through the night
When You clear
What crowds in
Empty plate
Full within

Daniel mourned pleasant bread stayed gone
Till the message came and the strength held on
Joel said turn with the heart and tears
Rend the inside not the clothes out here
Psalm said I chastened my soul with fast
So prayer rose clean through the weight that passed
That means this plate is not the goal
This is surgery for a crowded soul
When comfort leave what voice get loud
What thought still pace and circle round
What lust still reach what pride still pose
What part of me still won't let go
I don't need hunger just to say I did
I need alignment in the deepest bit
Make my no mean no when flesh want more
Make my yes stay yes when You open doors
Empty plate but the Ruach fed
By every word that You have said
Not starved to death just trained to hear
And trained to walk like You still near

Empty plate full Ruach
If the Book been checking your appetites sit with it
Barak YAHUAH
If you're making room instead of making a show say it
We The Assembly
Hidden fast
Open ears

Daniel chapter ten verse three
I ate no pleasant bread
Joel chapter two verses twelve through thirteen
Turn ye even to me with all your heart and with fasting
Rend your heart and not your garments

Empty plate full Ruach
Clear my ear tonight
Less of what I wanted
More of what is right
Empty plate full Ruach
Put this flesh in place
When the noise gets lower
I can seek Your face

Less of my wants
More of Your word
Less of my noise
More of Your Ruach
Empty plate
Full Ruach
We The Assembly
