You Satisfy My Soul

Passion is often seen in the elements of Wind and Fire. One of the questions posed was, "What is it that puts fire in your bones, and gives you something worth dying for?"

One of the things that I desire most is that experience of being in His presence. It's addicting, as though one taste leaves you wanting more, and the more you experience it, the more still you long for it. David captures this best in Psalm 63:1-8. "I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and Your glory. Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You...My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods." (vs. 2, 4-5)

We become of one mind with Him, seeking only that His will be done, that we become melded into Him, unable to distinguish our own separate identity. Once we encounter Him in this way, our lives are altered. We have a longing in our hearts that nothing else can fill or quench. The desire grows, and only His presence is enough to satisfy our souls.

This song is my response to Him after having experienced His presence. Just as David longed for more of Him in the desert, so I long to experience Him in the midst of my everyday, ordinary life. Just as Moses, I desire to be in His Presence, consumed by Him, that when I do return to my normal routine, I may reflect His glory to those around me.
