I Shall Be Satisfied

Representative Text

1 Soul of mine, in earthly temple,
Why not here content abide?
Why art thou for ever pleading?
Why art thou not satisfied?

Refrain:
I shall be satisfied,
I shall be satisfied,
When I awake in His likeness,
I shall be satisfied,
I shall be satisfied,
When I awake in His likeness.

2 Soul of mine, my heart is clinging
To the earth’s fair pomp and pride;
Ah, why dost thou thus reprove me?
Why art thou not satisfied? [Refrain]

3 Soul of mine, must I surrender,
See myself as crucified;
Turn from all of earth’s ambition,
That thou may’st be satisfied? [Refrain]

4 Soul of mine, continue pleading;
Sin rebuke, and folly chide;
I accept the cross of Jesus,
That thou may’st be satisfied. [Refrain]
