| For You Alone Can Satisfy | ||||||||||||
| In my previous articles, I have shared my reflections on a couple of my favourite songs. I thought I would continue this self-created tradition of mine, and share another song with you. This time, however, is a song that I wrote. The song is actually part of a poem I wrote one night when I couldn�t sleep, and I was feeling really lonely and down. It is based on Psalm 63 and Psalm 42. The poem reflects the struggle that is constantly going through my heart. The struggle between knowing that God is always there for me so I shouldn�t feel lonely and the waves of loneliness that I sometimes succumb to. When I go through struggles like this, I like to read the Psalms and write letters to God. I call them my �Dear God� letters, and this poem was one of them. I like reading the Psalms because very often the people that wrote them were often going through their own struggles, yet their psalms always end with praising God. Some of you may be going through bad times right now, and I encourage you to talk to God, read the Psalms, talk to a good friend, or even write your own poem or psalm. It has helped me lots, and I hope it�ll help you too! |

| For You Alone Can Satisfy Chorus: O God, You are my God My soul longs for You I thirst for You, my LORD For You alone can satisfy. I feel so alone, like in a desert Yet I know You are there To catch me whenever I fall To put Your arms around me So why am I not satisfied? Why am I still downcast? Forgive this foolish heart, O LORD Forgive my wand�ring heart. Please bring me back to You, O LORD And hold me in Your arms And I will praise You, LORD Yes, I will lift my hands to You. � 2001 Cindy Chan |
