Satisfied in You

I have lost my appetite

And a flood is welling up behind my eyes

So I eat the tears I cry

And if that were not enough

They know just the words to cut and tear and prod

When they ask me “Whereʼs your God?”

Why are you downcast, oh my soul?

Why so disturbed within me?

I can remember when you showed your face to me

As a deer pants for water, so my soul thirsts for you

And when I survey Your splendor, You so faithfully renew

Like a bed of rest for my fainting flesh

When Iʼm looking at the ground

Itʼs an inbred feedback loop that drags me down

So itʼs time to lift my brow

And remember better days

When I loved to worship you and learn your ways

Singing sweetest songs of praise

Let my sighs give way to songs that sing about your faithfulness

Let my pain reveal your glory as my only real rest

Let my losses show me all I truly have is you

So when Iʼm drowning out at sea

And all your breakers and your waves crash down on me

Iʼll recall your safety scheme

Youʼre the one who made the waves

And your Son went out to suffer in my place

And to show me that Iʼm safe

Why am I down?

Why so disturbed?

I am satisfied in you
