"Satisfied" lyrics

"Satisfied"
(Old Time Gospel)
(originally by Martha Carson)


I've got that old time religion
Got that old time religion
And that is why I'm satisfied

Now you ask me if I'm happy
Do I peace within?
Do I worry about tomorrow
When I reach my journey's end?
Well, I'm satisfied with my Jesus
When He knocks, I'll let Him in
And he'll go with me through the valley
For I know, He is my friend

Satisfied, satisfied
No trouble will ever get me down
When my eyes are closed in death
With my Jesus, I'll be at rest
And then you'll know
I'm satisfied

Now if my friends, they all forsake me
And they journey from their door
If they sow no seeds of kindness
Make the thorns in my path grow
Well, it won't matter over yonder
When I reach the other side
Well, I'm a gonna sit down by my Jesus
Satisfied, satisfied

I'm satisfied, satisfied
No trouble will ever get me down
When my eyes are closed in death
With my Jesus, I'll be at rest
And then you'll know
I'm satisfied

Well I'm satisfied, satisfied
No trouble will ever get me down
When my eyes are closed in death
With my Jesus, I'll be at rest
And then you'll know
I'm satisfied

I've got that old time religion
Got that old time religion
And that is why I'm satisfied
