Fishes For The Soul

Fishes For The Soul
Lyricist: Dinah Satterwhite
Composer: Dinah Satterwhite
Bible reference: Mark 8: 1-10

Once I felt so hungry
And empty deep inside
My days were full and busy
But my zest for life had died

I was desperate for
The food of truth and love
And to know more of my purpose
And to know what I’m made of

This hunger made me think
Of how the crowds were fed
When Jesus blessed two fishes
And seven loaves of bread

At the Sea of Galilee
The people gathered near
To understand the Master
Ten thousand came to hear

His words like crumbs of truth
Restored and made them whole
He filled their hearts and spirits
With fishes for the soul

The people young and old
Up on that mountainside
Heard his healing message
Their hearts were opened wide

For three days they all listened
He knew they had to eat
But His disciples told him
“Master, we have no meat”

Yet Jesus took a basket
With seven loaves of bread
And finding two small fishes
He knew all would be fed

This food was ripe with Spirit
He thanked the Lord out loud
This humble common food
Today would feed the crowd

His words like crumbs of truth
Restored and made them whole
He filled their hearts and spirits
With fishes for the soul

They ate and they were full
And God they glorified
With seven baskets left
And their spirits satisfied

I too can eat the fishes
God’s words I can’t ignore
They fill my emptiness
And I will hunger nevermore

He fills my heart and spirit
With fishes for the soul
Fishes
Fishes for the soul
