VERSE 1: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?”
PRE-CHORUS: Why are you downcast, oh my soul? Why so disturbed within me? I can remember when you showed your grace to me
CHORUS: 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, I am satisfied in you
VERSE 2: When Iʼm staring 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 all your ways Singing sweetest songs of praise
BRIDGE: 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 ‘Cause all I truly have is You
VERSE 3: So when Iʼm drowning out at sea; and 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 tell me that I’m safe
OUTRO: Why am I down? Why so disturbed? I am satisfied in you I am satisfied in you I am satisfied in you I am satisfied in you
