Coffey Ministries Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For a drink from some cool spring
That I hoped would quench the burning
Of the thirst I felt within
Feeding on the husks around me
Till my strength was almost gone
Longed my soul for something better
Hallelujah! I have found him.
Whom my soul so long has craved
Jesus satisfies my longings.
Through His blood I now am saved
Through His blood I now am saved
Poor was I, and sought for riches
Something that would satisfy
But the dust that gathered round me
Only mocked my soul′s sad cry
I will thirst for You
In a dry and weary land
I will long for You
Seeking You with all I am
I will thirst for You
Only You can satisfy
I will long for You
Jesus Christ, You are my life
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
Through His blood I now am saved
Hallelujah! I have found him
Jesus satisfies my heart
The song "Satisfied" by Coffey Ministries is a hymn of gratitude and appreciation for Jesus Christ. The first two stanzas describe the singer's long-standing search for something that would quench their unquenchable thirst. The singer has been searching their entire life for a drink of cool spring water that would satisfy their inner burning thirst. They have attempted to satisfy their soul's hunger by feeding on the "husks" around them, but to no avail. The husks of worldly pleasures could not quell their thirst for something more fulfilling.
The third stanza describes the singer's search for riches that would satisfy their yearning soul. Their search only yielded more frustration and disappointment. Finally, the singer proclaims their resolution to seek only Jesus Christ as the solution to their thirst and hunger. They proclaim their dedication to thirsting and longing for God and seeking Him with all their being.
Overall, "Satisfied" is a powerful hymn that speaks to the human experience of longing for meaning and purpose in life. The lyrics describe the universal desire for something to quench the thirst and satisfy the hunger of the soul, and offer the solution of a relationship with Jesus Christ as the way to ultimate fulfillment.

All my life long I had panted
For as long as I can remember, I have longed for something
For a drink from some cool spring
I was hoping for a refreshing, cool drink
That I hoped would quench the burning
To satisfy the thirst I felt inside of me
Of the thirst I felt within
This thirst was a longing inside me that was unquenchable
Feeding on the husks around me
I tried to satisfy myself with the things around me
Till my strength was almost gone
But it drained my energy and didn't satisfy me at all
Longed my soul for something better
My soul was still yearning for something more
Only still to hunger on
But I still couldn't find what I was looking for
Hallelujah! I have found him.
Finally, I have found the answer to my search
Whom my soul so long has craved
The one who fills the gap in my life
Jesus satisfies my longings.
Jesus is the one who quenches my thirst and satisfies my desires and needs
Through His blood I now am saved
I am saved through His sacrifice on the cross
Poor was I, and sought for riches
I was poor and looked for wealth
Something that would satisfy
Something that would make me happy and fulfilled
But the dust that gathered round me
But the things around me only caused decay and decayed themselves
Only mocked my soul′s sad cry
It only made me feel more sad and unsatisfied
I will thirst for You
I will continue to seek you
In a dry and weary land
Even when I feel tired and worn out
I will long for You
I will desire you greatly
Seeking You with all I am
I will search for you with my whole being
Only You can satisfy
Only Jesus can fulfill me
Jesus Christ, You are my life
Jesus is the one who gives me life
Well of water, ever springing,
Jesus is like an everlasting water source
Bread of Life, so rich and free
Jesus is like bread that feeds us and sustains us
Untold wealth that never faileth
Jesus is the source of never-ending wealth and blessings
My Redeemer is to me
Jesus is the one who saves me from my sins
Hallelujah! I have found him
I can't help but praise God for finding Jesus
Jesus satisfies my longings
Jesus is the one who quenches my thirst and fulfills my desires
Through His blood I now am saved
I am saved through His sacrifice on the cross
Through His blood I now am saved
I am saved through His sacrifice on the cross
Hallelujah! I have found him
I can't help but praise God for finding Jesus
Jesus satisfies my heart
Jesus is the one who fills my heart with joy and love
