Satisfied

Clara Tear Williams (1875) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 36:8

Verse 1

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.

Chorus

Hallelujah! I have found Him Whom my soul so long has craved! Jesus satisfies my longings, Through His blood I now am saved.

Verse 2

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

Verse 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.

Verse 4

Well of water, ever springing, Bread of life so rich and free, Untold wealth that never faileth, My Redeemer is to me.
