Why I'm Satisfied With Jesus

1 Do you know why I am satisfied with Jesus?
Do you know the reason why I love him so?
Oh, I love to tell that dear old, sweet old story,
Yes, I love to tell it out where’er I go.

Refrain:
I am satisfied with Jesus ev’ry day,
I am satisfied with Jesus all the way;
For he walks and talks with me,
Friend and Savior, both is he,
So I’m satisfied with Jesus all the way and every day.

2 Once my heart with many, many sins was burdened,
And I feared to meet him at the judgment day;
Then I called to Jesus—quickly he forgave me,
And my crimson stains he freely washed away. [Refrain]

3 When I’m tempted Jesus ever stands beside me,
Every day he gives to me his saving grace;
With his help I mean to gain a heav’nly mansion,
Some sweet day I’ll praise and thank him face to face. [Refrain]

4 When I’m sad, he makes me glad, oh, hallelujah!
On his shoulders all my burdens he doth bear;
Peace that floweth like a river he hath giveth,
So I’ll sing his praises here and over there. [Refrain]
