The hunger and thirst within one's soul
Can only be quenched as his spirit's made whole
The emptiness within man's heart, God alone can fill;
And the anxiety and restlessness, only He can still
No earthly treasure can answer the desperate cry
Nor can any worldly pleasure ever satisfy;
But a hungry seeking soul kneeling to God in prayer
Always finds satisfaction and contentment there
When I was alone in a parlor looking empty and bare
Depressed at heart, deep in dark despair
You came to my rescue just to satisfy the need in me
More than nuggets of gold and now I will never give up my bliss
Chorus:
Ooo, you give me satisfaction
When I'm broken-down, abandoned and forsaken
Ooo, you set my feet on high places
That I've never been before
When night creatures tear my life up into pieces inside
And there is no hope for a better life
Ooo, you make me escape from a masquerade
So please satisfy the need in me
Cause you've given me happiness, multiplying bliss
Good news, great joy and most of all, so much satisfaction
Looking to Jesus, responding to His call
Confessing sin, surrendering all -
The search is ended, there's sweet release
The heart overflows with joy and peace
Father, thank You for filling the void with blessings from above
And for satisfying our hunger and thirst
With Your wondrous grace and love
When I was in an empty nest playing solitaire
Angels of mercy would send me home to meet my family
Who would come to my rescue
Just to satisfy the need in me
More than nuggets of gold and now I will never give up on love
Repeat Chorus
When I was walking down the street, feeling like a hungry child
Longing and yearning for you
To satisfy my soul with a rich feast
You helped make it home to have spaghetti for supper
With the rest of my family in the house of love
Repeat Chorus
