I Shall Be Satisfied

Verse 1

Soul of mine, in earthly temple, Why not here content abide? Why art thou for ever pleading? Why art thou not satisfied?

Chorus

I shall be satisfied, I shall be satisfied, When I awake in His likeness, I shall be satisfied, I shall be satisfied, When I awake in His likeness.

Verse 2

Soul of mine, my heart is clinging To the earth’s fair pomp and pride; Ah, why dost thou thus reprove me? Why art thou not satisfied?

Verse 3

Soul of mine, must I surrender, See myself as crucified; Turn from all of earth’s ambition, That thou may’st be satisfied?

Verse 4

Soul of mine, continue pleading; Sin rebuke, and folly chide; I accept the cross of Jesus, That thou may’st be satisfied.
