Only Jesus Can Satisfy My Souil

Only Jesus Can Satisfy My Soul!

For many years, my life was 
an embarrassment.
Filled with hopelessness, worry
 and discouragement.

There were many things
 I thought I enjoyed.
Everything just left in me,
 a large empty void.

There were many nights 
that I would cry myself to sleep.
Knowing the hole my life was in, 
was very, very deep.

Then one day, I called out to God,
 not sure if he'd listen.
My family, my old church, 
I was now missin'.

My family prayed for me
 for so many years.
I would often bring them 
embarrassment and tears.

“God… I've tried everything else! 
I want to come back to you!”
“I need you now Jesus! I really, really do!”

“Please come into my heart 
and cleanse me within.
Set me free from my addictions 
and every sin.”

“I know that you will never
 let go of my hand.
My whole life, on your word, 
I shall stand.”

Jesus has filled the emptiness in my soul.
In HIM, I’m complete, 
satisfied, and whole!
