My Jesus, You Satisfy

If I could sum up my thoughts from today in one way, it would be through Ascend the Hill’s version of the song, Be Thou My Vision. I was listening to this song on the way home from the orphanage today and it stuck out to me. For once, I feel like I can truly say Jesus is the most satisfying part of my life. In a place where my life is not cluttered with stuff…in a place where I feel free to be who God created me to be without restraint or worry…it is here that I am the most satisfied. Praise God for His glorious riches and great faithfulness.

Be thou my vision

O Lord of my heart

Naught be all else to me

Save that Thou art

Thou my best thought

By day or by night

Waking or sleeping

Thy presence my light

Be Thou my Wisdom

And Thou my true Word

I ever with Thee

And Thou with me, Lord

Thou my great Father

I Thy true son

Thou in me dwelling

And I with Thee one

Riches I heed not

Nor man’s empty praise

Thou mine inheritance

Now and always

Thou and Thou only

First in my heart

High King of Heaven

My Treasure Thou art

High King of heaven

My victory won

May I reach heaven’s joys

O bright heaven’s sun

Heart of my own heart

Whatever befall

Still be my vision

O Ruler of all

Oh God be my everything

Be my delight

Be Jesus my glory my soul satisfied

My Jesus, You satisfy!

It’s hard to believe tomorrow is our last day at the orphanage. I love those girls so much. I desperately hope this will not be the last time I ever see them. I think I will be back.
