[Verse 1]
C
I have lost my appetite
C C G Am
And a flood is welling up behind my eyes
Em
So I eat the tears I cry
C
And if that were not enough
C C G Am
They know just the words to cut and tear and prod
Em
When they ask me “Whereʼs your God?”
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F C G
Why are you downcast, oh my soul?
Am G F
Why so disturbed within me?
C Am G
I can remember when you showed Your face to me
[Chorus]
Am G* C G
As a deer pants for water, so my soul thirsts for you
Am G* C G
And when I survey Your splendor, You so faithfully renew
F C F C
Like a bed of rest, for my fainting flesh
Am G C
I am satisfied in You
[Verse 2]
C
When Iʼm staring at the ground
C C G Am
Itʼs an inbred feedback loop that brings me down
Em
So itʼs time to lift my brow
C
And remember better days
C C G Am
When I loved to worship You and all Your ways
Em
With the sweetest songs of praise
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F C G
Why are you downcast, oh my soul?
Am G F
Why so disturbed within me?
C Am G
I can remember when you showed Your grace to me
[Chorus]
Am G* C G
As a deer pants for water, so my soul thirsts for you
Am G* C G
And when I survey Your splendor, You so faithfully renew
F C F C
Like a bed of rest, for my fainting flesh
Am G C
I am satisfied in You
[Bridge]
C F G* C G*
Let my sighs give way to songs that sing about Your faithfulness
C F G* C G*
Let my pain reveal Your glory as my only real rest
C F G* Am C F
Let my losses show me all I truly have is You
G* Am C F
'Cause all I truly have is You
[Verse 3]
C
So when Iʼm drowning out at sea
C C G Am
And all Your breakers and Your waves crash down on me
Em
Iʼll recall Your safety scheme
C
Youʼre the one who made the waves
C C G Am
And Your Son went out to suffer in my place
Em
And to tell me that Iʼm safe
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F C G
Why are you downcast, oh my soul?
Am G F
Why so disturbed within me?
C Am G C
I can remember when you showed Your face to me
