All my life long I had panted
For a draught from some cool spring,
That I hoped would quench the burning
Of the thirst I felt within.
For a draught from some cool 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 life I now am saved.
Whom my soul so long has craved!
Jesus satisfies my longings;
Through His life 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.
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.
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.
Bread of life, so rich and free,
Untold wealth that never faileth,
My Redeemer is to me.

But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall by no means thirst forever; but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water gushing up into eternal life. (John 4:14)

Hallelujah! We have found Him
Whom our soul so long has craved!
God has put eternity in man's heart so that He would only be the One who could fill us. He is the eternal One who is our real satisfaction. Anything that is not of Him would only cause us to crave for more. We are so lucky that we have Him.

Lord, thank You for satisfying me with Yourself.

I have always heard the lyrics as "Hallelujah! He has found Me" rather than "I have found Him!"
I think the song has so much more power we we sing that He has found us, because it so clearly articulates our need.

Amen. Truly that God is the only One who can satisfy our longing. Praise the Lord that He is so available to us. We need to pursue and run the race today so that in the coming kingdom age we will reign with Him. Hallelujah!

"Saints, we should realize that we do not need to ask the Lord to deliver us. He will come to be with us and take care of us in our suffering, making our place of suffering a pleasant situation." [ICBM]. In Christ, brother Mamay. AMEN.
