Lyrics

I’m sa­tis­fied with Je­sus,
He’s ev­ery­thing to me;
He saved my soul from tor­ment,
And aw­ful mi­sery.
He gave me peace and plen­ty,
And more than I de­served,
And since my Sav­ior found me,
Him I have glad­ly served.

I’m sa­tis­fied with Je­sus,
And I will tell you why:
He sanc­ti­fied my na­ture
And fit­ted me to die;
He filled me with His glo­ry
And leads me ev­ery day,
And keeps me now from fall­ing,
And in the ho­ly way.

I’m sa­tis­fied with Je­sus,
I find He’s all I need;
He healed me soul and bo­dy,
And makes me whole in­deed;
He gives me food and rai­ment,
And all I eat and wear,
He bear­eth all my bur­dens,
My sor­rows and my care.

I’m sa­tis­fied with Je­sus,
Whatever He may do,
And this same sa­tis­fac­tion
Is wait­ing now for you;
I’m sa­tis­fied with Je­sus,
Wherever I may be,
And while I now ob­ey Him,
He’s sa­tis­fied with me.
