Satisfied in You
Lord, let the love
In me for you
Be utmost in my heart
For what I most
Believe is true
Is seen in what I do
Open my eyes
To see your light
Make me rejoice in you
For greatest joy
And pure delight
Are only found in you
You are my greatest treasure
My all consuming pleasure
On you I found
My dignity because
The value of a soul
Is measured by
The object of its love
Reveal your light
Teach me the truth
I gladly place
My faith in you
For my delight
In what you do
Illuminates
What I believe is true
And you are glorified in me
As I am satisfied in you
You are my greatest treasure
My all consuming pleasure
I magnify your name
Above all names
For my delight
In all you do
Is energized
By what I know is true
And you are glorified in me
As I am satisfied in you
