Who Can Satisfy Our Souls? – A Japanese Worship song

Yesterday at Faith Church we had a special treat as Yoriyoshi and Emiko Abe visited, encouraging through the preaching of the Word and leading us in worship.  Yoriyoshi told us how the Lord worked in his life, tying that in with the wonderful words found in Isaiah 55:1-3.

Emiko closed the sermon by leading us in a new song.  It is actually a Japanese worship song translated “Who Can Satisfy Our Souls?”  It was the perfect choice for the sermon, and it is a beautiful song.  As you read the song, may it be your prayer.

Oh Lord we come to you

Our souls thirst for you

We desire to be renewed

We lift our hands in praise

to glorify your name

Who can satisfy but you?

Jesus, Lord you’re the only one

who fills our heart, who gives us life,

who satisfies our soul

Jesus, Lord you’re the only one

who’s worthy to be praised

So I offer all to you

What do you need to do make this prayer a reality in your life?
