Alphabet of Praise: S is for Satisfaction


S is for Satisfaction,

A fullness rich and sweet

And satiated longings--

Each need our Savior meets!

 

All emptiness He filleth,

All hungerings within.

His own transcendent presence--

As souls do long for Him.

 

Sin’s debts He paid forever,

Fulfilled the law’s demands.

He satisfied with justice

By His most holy plan.

 

What need I of this world’s goods?

What have I not in Him?

Abundance from His Spirit

And freedom from my sin!

 

No one on earth beside Him

Can fullness true provide.

Contentment sure he offers;

From storms in Him we hide.

 

To satiate our longings

This world will ne’er comply.

But God’s fullness forever

Shall every need supply!

Psa. 145:16 ,”Thou openest thine hand,

and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.”
