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 "Where's your God?" Why are you downcast, oh my soul? Why so disturbed within me? I can remember when you showed your face to me R: As a deer pants for water, so my soul thirsts for you And when I behold Your glory, You so faithfully renew Like a bed of rest for my fainting flesh I am statisfied in You 2. When I'm staring at the ground It's an inbred feedback loop that brings me down So it's time to lift my brow And remember better days When I loved to worship You and learn Your ways With the sweetest songs of praise Why are you downcast, oh my soul? Why so distrubed within me? I can remember when you showed your grace to me R2: 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 painting flesh I am satisfied in You B: 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 3. So when I'm drowning out at sea And Your breakers and Your waves crash down on me I'll recall Your safety scheme You're the one who made the waves And Your Son went out to suffer in my place And to tell me that I'm safe C: So why am I down? Why so disturbed? I am satisfied in You
