Jesus Satisfies

When Jes­us no long­er stands pre­cious­ly nigh

When sor­rows like sea bil­lows roll;

I look to the Rock that is high­er than I

And peace

won­drous peace floods my soul.

Jesus sa­tis­fies

Je­sus sa­tis­fies;

Clouds at His pre­sence roll away;

Jesus sa­tis­fies

Je­sus sa­tis­fies;

His glo­ry turns my dark­ness in­to day.

The sun may be shin­ing on fields bright and gay

With spring­time per­fumes in the breeze;

Yet

life with­out Je­sus is win­ter in May

Without Him no pros­pect can please.

If liv­ing like Paul all vic­tor­ious and free

Tho’ beat­en while mul­ti­tudes stare;

Tho’ put be­hind bars ’twould be Heav­en to me

For Je­sus will dwell with me there.

If faith­ful in stand­ing for what I be­lieve

Brings scoff­ing and fire

I can dare

To laugh in the fur­nace where I am to burn

For Je­sus will dwell with me there.
