Satisfy
There are a thousand things that I could try,
But only You can satisfy.
There's an insatiable thirst inside my soul,
And only You can make me whole.
You've proved Yourself,
I know it's true,
Still I seek life,
Somewhere other than You.
I seek the acceptance,
And love of men,
And come up empty,
Again and again.
I follow my dreams,
I reach for the stars,
Yet end up empty,
And covered with scars.
I'm finished O Lord,
With living for me,
With seeking delight,
From things I can see.
Fill me O God with a passion for You,
Capture my heart as only You can do,
Feed me O Lord with Your holy Word,
Care for me God as You do each bird.
The luster of love and things in this place,
Grow dimmer and dimmer as I seek Your face.
But only You can satisfy.
There's an insatiable thirst inside my soul,
And only You can make me whole.

Yet end up empty,
And covered with scars.

The luster of love and things in this place,
Grow dimmer and dimmer as I seek Your face.
Well done! Only Christ can satisfy!
