All my life-long I had panted
For a drink from some cool spring,
That I hoped would quench the burning
Of the thirst I felt within.
Refrain
Hallelujah! He has found me,
Whom my soul so long has craved.
Jesus satisfies my longings;
Through his blood I have been saved.
Feeding on the husks around me
Till my strength was almost gone,
Longed my soul for something better
Only still to hunger on.
Refrain
Poor was I, and sought for riches,
Something that would satisfy;
But the dust I gathered round me
Only mocked my soul’s sad cry.
Refrain
Well of water ever springing,
Bread of Life, so rich and free,
Untold wealth that never faileth,
My Redeemer is tome!
Refrain
Ending:
Hallelujah, He has found me, Whom my soul so long has craved.
Jesus satisfies my longings; through His blood I have been saved.
