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.


-Clara T. Williams, 1975

He satisfies my every longing!  He drew and gloriously saved me!  ME of all people!  ME!  Hallelujah that he doesn't leave me to myself...right where I thought I'd wanted to be left.  He mercifully strove with me when all I wanted was to play like I knew him.  I had NO clue what power was in his name, what glorious victories he had for me to be a part of.  How excellent!  How awesome my God truely is.  Hallelujah!  Soli Deo Gloria!
