Satisfied
Chelsea Moon & The Franz Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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,
Feeding on the husks around me,
Till my strength was almost gone,
Longed my soul for something better,
Only still to hunger on.
Hallelujah! I have found Him
Whom my soul so long has craved!
Jesus satisfies my longings,
Through His blood I now am saved.
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.
Hallelujah! I have found Him
Whom my soul so long has craved!
Jesus satisfies my longings,
Through His blood I now am saved.
Well of water, ever springing,
Bread of life so rich and free,
Untold wealth that never faileth,
My Redeemer is to me.
Hallelujah! I have found Him
Whom my soul so long has craved!
Jesus satisfies my longings,
Through His blood I now am saved.

This feeling is relatable to anyone who has chased worldly desires, only to be left feeling empty. The third verse reinforces the idea that worldly riches cannot fulfill the spiritual void, and in fact, only add insult to injury.
The final verse introduces the image of a "well of water" and "bread of life," highlighting the renewed life and abundance that Jesus provides. The singer speaks of the "untold wealth" that is never depleted, a true testament to the infinite value of the salvation she has received.
