Satisfied.

I love this hymn. It is so simplistically beautiful and powerful all at the same time. And I have searched iTunes high and low for a version of it. Everytime we sing it at church I try again to find a well arranged version of it and never have any luck. Today we sang it at church and I came home humming it and wishing I had a copy of it. I searched iTunes and to my joy found a version by Red Mountain Church. Which ironically enough I had heard about days earlier when hanging out with some of our college students in Krannert. So here are the lyrics and if you need a copy of it check out iTunes.

Satisfied

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.

Refrain

Hallelujah! He has found me.
The one my soul so long has craved!
Jesus satisfies my longings,
Through His blood I now am saved.

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

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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