Satisfied

Shortened are the days
But they remain full
Full of His love and grace
In Him, my heart is well

Every need met - exceeded
With great expectations I asked
Every prayer answered - surpassed
With great joy I lift Him up

I must testify
He's given more than I requested
I give Him great praise
Lord, my heart you've satisfied

When the path was not discernible
When my heart ached for more
You answered every request
You wiped every tear

You filled my heart with joy
You brought peace into my life
When nothing in the world made sense
You brought about in me a reason to smile

I will lift my voice in praise
And thank you for your love always
When I ran the other way
You were always there

You never turned from me
But remained steadfast
Showing me a true father's love
Transcends bloodlines, transcends understanding

You have opened my eyes
Shown me that love is unconditional
Your actions have revealed to me
The depths of the truest love

In my darkest solitary hours
You cradled me in your arms
You loved me through the good and the bad
Even when the world turned its back

In my darkest hours
When I didn't know where to turn
I cried out to you, and you responded
Lord, my heart you've satisfied
