Satisfied

All my life long I had panted

For a draught from some cool spring

That I hoped would quench the burning

Of the thirst I felt within.

Hallelujah! I have found Him

Whom my soul so long has craved!

Jesus satisfies my longings;

Through His life I now am saved.

Feeding on the husks around me

Till my strength was almost gone

Longed my soul for something better

Only still to hunger on.

Poor I was

and sought for riches

Something that would satisfy

But the dust I gathered round me

Only mocked my soul’s sad cry.

Well of water

ever springing

Bread of life

so rich and free

Untold wealth that never faileth

My Redeemer is to me.
