Satisfied (Williams)

All my life I had a long­ing

For a drink from some clear 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 blood 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.
