"A Satisfied Mind" lyrics

"A Satisfied Mind"
(originally by Red Hayes)

(It's hymn time on the show
It's called "A Satisfied Mind")

How many times have you heard someone say
"If I had his money I could do things my way"?
But little they know that it is so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

Once I was winnin' in fortune and fame
Everything that I planned for to win in life's game
Then suddenly it happened, I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind

(Ah, play it)

Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely, or a love that's grown cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

When life is over my time has run out
My friends and my loved one I leave, there's no doubt
But there's one thing for certain when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
