I LOVE this song by Mandisa, Temporary Fills. If you have a chance, you can look at her story behind the song on YouTube. Nothing temporary, what is sought for in addiction, can fill the void inside that only God can fill.

"Temporary Fills"
People goin on and on
They don't know what they got wrong
This world won't keep you satisfied
They say You gotta buy this
Wear this, drive that car
'Cause that's the kind of thing
That makes you who you are
But don't keep throwin that my way
No more temporary fills
I want a love that's real
Take everything I have and fill me up inside
I'm done looking for the quick fix
Jesus your love is all I'll ever need
No more temporary fills
I've turned every rock and stone
Gone everywhere there was to go
But I only felt better for a while
'Cause nothin can replace you
Erase you from my heart
And that's the kind of thing
That makes you who you are
Your the reason I can say
No more temporary fills
I want a love that's real
Take everything I have and fill me up inside
I'm done looking for the quick fix
Jesus your love is all I'll ever need
And nothin temporary could ever make me
Feel the way you do
'Cause what you've given to me
I know that it will last my whole life through
Woah
No more temporary fills
I want a love that's real
Take everything I have and fill me up inside
I'm done looking for the quick fix
Jesus, your love is all I'll ever need
No more temporary fills
No, no more temporary
No, no more temporary
No, no more temporary
No more hidin'
They don't know what they got wrong
This world won't keep you satisfied
They say You gotta buy this
Wear this, drive that car
'Cause that's the kind of thing
That makes you who you are
But don't keep throwin that my way
No more temporary fills
I want a love that's real
Take everything I have and fill me up inside
I'm done looking for the quick fix
Jesus your love is all I'll ever need
No more temporary fills
I've turned every rock and stone
Gone everywhere there was to go
But I only felt better for a while
'Cause nothin can replace you
Erase you from my heart
And that's the kind of thing
That makes you who you are
Your the reason I can say
No more temporary fills
I want a love that's real
Take everything I have and fill me up inside
I'm done looking for the quick fix
Jesus your love is all I'll ever need
And nothin temporary could ever make me
Feel the way you do
'Cause what you've given to me
I know that it will last my whole life through
Woah
No more temporary fills
I want a love that's real
Take everything I have and fill me up inside
I'm done looking for the quick fix
Jesus, your love is all I'll ever need
No more temporary fills
No, no more temporary
No, no more temporary
No, no more temporary
No more hidin'
