Only You Lord Completely

Jesus Satisfies


O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Psalm 95:1

For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations. Psalm 100:5
There's not a craving of the mind
Which Jesus cannot fill;
There's not a pleasure I would seek
Aside from His dear will.
From hour to hour He fills my soul
With peace and perfect love;
While rich supplies for every need
He sendeth from above.

The joys which this vain world bestows,
Have lost their charms for me;
Once I enjoyed its trifles too,
But Jesus set me free.
Its joys will perish in a day,
Its pleasures quickly fly;
Its mirth like mists will pass away,
And all its honors die.

He stilled the angry tempest's power,
Which raged within my heart;
And bade each sinful passion there,
To speedily depart.
Yes, Jesus is my all in all,
He satisfies my soul,
For me he died on Calvary,
And now he makes me whole.

Yes, Jesus is my Saviour dear,
My Rock, my Strength, my Song;
My Wisdom, and my Refuge safe,
To Jesus I belong.
He is my Advocate with God,
My Way, my Life, my Light,
My Great Physician and my Friend,
My Guide by day and night.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23:1

He Satisfies


My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 31:14b
With lovingkindness to His own,
With mercies full and free,
The blessed Saviour satisfies,
He satisfieth me.

He satisfies the longing soul,
His hungry sheep are fed,
To pastures green He leadeth them,
By waters still they're led.

With marrow and with fatness, and
With honey from the Rock,
The Shepherd ever satisfies,
And careth for His flock.

My people shall be satisfied,
Tis God who speaks the Word,
My goodness and My mercies will
Be with them, saith the Lord.

For riches cannot satisfy,
Nor gold nor silver can,
'Tis only Jesus satisfies,
And fills the heart of man.

He satisfies continually,
Each moment of the day,
His love can fill your longing soul,
And care for you alway.

Oh yes! My Saviour satisfies,
As nothing else can do;
The Chiefest of ten thousand, He
Can satisfy you too.

The altogether lovely One,
O won't you taste and see?
For Jesus ever satisfies,
He satisfieth me.

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him. Psalm 34:8
