1 On my Redeemer my sins I have cast,
Fetters are broken and wand'rings are past;
Goodness and mercy o'ercame me at last, -
I am satisfied now. (satisfied now.)
Chorus:
I am satisfied now, I am satisfied now;
All my sins forgiven, I am satisfied now;
I am satisfied now, I am satisfied now;
All my sins forgiven, I am satisfied now.
2 Vain are the calls that allure me to sin;
Never again shall the evil one win;
Sweetly the Spirit abideth within;
I am satisfied now. (satisfied now.) [Chorus]
3 Soon I shall see Him, the One I adore,
Sing of His love on "The Beautiful Shore,"
There in His presence abide evermore -
I am satisfied now. (satisfied now.) [Chorus]
