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.

Amen, truly there is an infinite hole in our hearts that only the Lord can satisfy. I almost have everything, family, business and wealth but without Him all these things are nothing! Hallelujah! I have found Him whom my soul so long has craved! He is the only real satisfaction we have. What else do we need to seek for?

Money, education, pleasure nor success cannot completely satisfy our existence as a human being because only the most wonderful, the most beautiful, the most marvelous and glorious Person in the universe can - our all-inclusive Savior Jesus Christ. Hallelujah through His life we are now saved!

All my life long I had panted when I was not yet recovered by the saints in the church. By this song I was encourage to pursue much better in Christ by enjoying the scripture.
