98. Praise God, My Needs are all Supplied

1 I came to Jesus sick and poor,
He led me to a fountain pure;
And since I plunged beneath its tide,
Praise God, my needs are all supplied.

Chorus:
O praise the Lord, I've found a friend
Who will go with me to the end;
And while I walk at his dear side,
Praise God, my needs are all supplied.

2 I prayed to him for a clean heart,
From which all evil should depart;
And even while I prayed, I cried,
"Praise God, my needs are all supplied. [Chorus]

3 All that is good my Lord will give,
I only ask and I receive;
His love is free, his mercy wide,
Praise God, my needs are all supplied. [Chorus]

4 He'll care for me while here I stay,
And then I'll live with him alway;
I'll shout, while crossing Jordan's tide,
"Praise God, my needs are all supplied. [Chorus]
