Satisfied in You

Our friend leads worship at the church that my husband and I attend.  This week the sermon was on suffering and so he tied this amazing song into the set. This song always brings me to tears because I feel like it’s so relatable to me . This song is by The Sing Team and here are the lyrics :

Lyrics:

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

I specifically relate to the part that goes like this: “ 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 “ 

As much as I wish I wasn’t going through great loss, I am looking forward to the moments in the future that God reveals his glory through it all. I am already starting to find moments of that in all of your stories and the way God is using this to connect so many people to the hope of Christ. Thankful for our church family and the truth that was preached today. 

Happy Sunday.
