Satisfied

All my life long I had panted

For a drink from some cool spring

That I hoped would quench the burning

Of the thirst I felt within

***

Feeding on the filth 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

***

Hallelujah, He has found me

The one my soul so long has craved

Jesus satisfies all my longing

Through his blood I now am saved

***

Well of of water ever springing

Bread of life so rich and free

Untold wealth that never faileth

My Redeemer is to me
