Baptist Hymnal 2008 ‎#621

621. Satisfied

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.

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

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. [Chorus]

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