Satisfied in You
The Sing Team Lyrics

I have lost my appetite
I am experiencing emotional pain and distress that has caused me to lose my desire to eat.

And a flood is welling up behind my eyes
I am feeling overwhelmed with emotions and I am on the verge of tears.

So I eat the tears I cry
I am so consumed by my emotions that I feel like I am consuming my own tears.

And if that were not enough
In addition to my emotional pain, others have been using hurtful words to further harm me.

They know just the words to cut and tear and prod
People are using harsh and hurtful words that are deeply affecting me.

When they ask me "Where's your God?"
Others are questioning my faith and asking why I am experiencing such difficulties if I truly have a relationship with God.

Why are you downcast, oh my soul?
I am speaking to my own soul, asking why I am feeling down and discouraged.

Why so disturbed within me?
I am questioning the source of the emotional turmoil I am experiencing within myself.

I can remember when you showed your face to me
I recall times when I felt close to God and was comforted by His presence.

As a deer pants for water, so my soul thirsts for You
I have an intense desire to be close to God and to have my spiritual thirst quenched.

And when I behold Your glory, You so faithfully renew
When I am able to focus on God's greatness and glory, I am able to find renewal and strength.

Like a bed of rest for my fainting flesh
Connecting with God is like finding a place of rest and comfort for my weary body and soul.

I am satisfied in You
Finding contentment and peace in God is what truly satisfies me.

When I'm staring at the ground
When I am consumed by my own troubles and fail to see the bigger picture.

It's an inbred feedback loop that brings me down
Negative thoughts and emotions can become a cycle that leads me to feeling more and more discouraged.

So it's time to lift my brow
It is time for me to lift up my head and look beyond my current troubles.

And remember better days
Recalling times of better emotional and spiritual health can help me find comfort and strength.

When I loved to worship You and all Your ways
Remembering times of deep connection to God through worship can help me refocus my heart and mind.

With the sweetest songs of praise
Expressing love and gratitude to God through worship can bring joy and hope to my soul.

Let my sighs give way to songs that sing about Your faithfulness
I ask God to help me replace my sighs with songs that proclaim His faithfulness.

Let my pain reveal Your glory as my only real rest
I ask God to bring purpose and meaning to my pain and to reveal His glory through my struggles.

Let my losses show me all I truly have is You
I ask God to help me see that He is all I truly need, especially in times of loss and disappointment.

'Cause all I truly have is You
I recognize that God is my everything, my true source of comfort and strength.

So when I'm drowning out at sea
When I feel overwhelmed and lost, like I am drowning in my struggles.

And Your breakers and Your waves crash down on me
When I face trials that seem insurmountable and feel like I am being overwhelmed by them.

I'll recall Your safety scheme
I will remember that God has a plan for my safety and wellbeing.

You're the One who made the waves
I remember that God is in control of the situation and is sovereign over all things.

And Your Son went out to suffer in my place
I remember that Jesus suffered and died for me, taking on the punishment for my sins.

And to tell me that I'm safe
I remember that Jesus' sacrifice makes me safe and secure in God's love and grace.

So why am I down?
I question why I am feeling down and discouraged when I know that God is with me.

Why so disturbed?
I question the source of my emotional turmoil and ask God to help me find peace.

I am satisfied in You
Despite my struggles, I find contentment and peace in God's presence and love.

I am satisfied in You
No matter what happens in my life, I know that God's love and presence will always be enough.

I am satisfied in You
My contentment and joy come from my relationship with God, and I find peace in knowing that He is always with me.

I am satisfied in You
God's love and presence bring me true satisfaction and joy, no matter what I am going through.
