Have you ever had something that you just couldn't get off of your mind? Well, Jenny reminded me yesterday of an old, old hymn that I have not heard in years, but seems so rich and full and grace that I thought I would share it with you. I hope you enjoy these lyrics from this precious old hymn. Now it's off my mind.
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.
Hallelujah! I have found Him
Whom my soul so long has craved!
Jesus satisfies my longings,
Through His blood I now am saved.
Feeding on the husks around me,
Till my strength was almost gone,
Longed my soul for something better,
Only still to hunger on.
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.
Well of water, ever springing,
Bread of life so rich and free,
Untold wealth that never faileth,
My Redeemer is to me.
By Clara T. Williams
May your journey be filled with great Satisfaction in Him. Clearly this trumps Mick Jagger's "I Can't Get No...Satisfaction."
Peace, Chuck
