The Celebration Hymnal

Satisfied

1 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.  

Refrain:  
Hallelujah! I have found Him -  
Whom my soul so long has craved!  
Jesus satisfies my longings;  
Thro' His blood I now am saved.  

2 Feeding on the husks around me,  
Till my strength was almost gone,  
Longed my soul for something better,  
Only still to hunger on. [Refrain]  

3 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. [Refrain]  

4 Well of water, ever springing,  
Bread of Life, so rich and free;  
Untold wealth that never faileth,  
My Redeemer is to me. [Refrain]
