73. I am Satisfied with Jesus

1 I am satisfied with Jesus ev’ry day,
His redeeming blood has washed my sins away,
O, in dark Gethsemane and on cruel Calvary,
What amazing love He showed for such as me.

Refrain:
I am satisfied, I am satisfied,
Fully satisfied with Jesus ev’ry day,
I am satisfied, I am satisfied,
Fully satisfied with Jesus ev’ry day.

2 Sad and hopeless once I wandered all alone,
Now He dwells with me and claims me as His own,
O, He makes my pathway bright, for He is Himself the Light,
And His presence turns to day life’s darkest night. [Refrain]

3 Though the fiery darts of Satan may assail,
O’er the shield of faith they never shall prevail,
I have given Christ my all; I shall rise whene’er I fall,
He will answer and deliver at my call. [Refrain]

4 To His mercy seat I hasten when oppressed,
For with Jesus there is perfect peace and rest,
So I take to Him in pray’r ev’ry anxious weight of care,
And I leave it, yes, I leave it with Him there. [Refrain]

5 I am looking unto Jesus ev’ry hour,
I am trusting in His faithfulness and pow’r,
Underneath His watchful eye are the flames that purify,
I shall understand their meaning by and by. [Refrain]
