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
