All my life long I had panted

Assurance and Joy of Salvation Satisfied with Christ

Neue Melodien325

All my life long I had panted
For a draught from some cool spring,
That I hoped would quench the burning
Of the thirst I felt within.

Hallelujah! I have found Him
Whom my soul so long has craved!
Jesus satisfies my longings;
Through His life I now am saved.

Feeding on the husks around me,
Till my strength was almost gone,
Longed my soul for something better,
Only still to hunger on.

Poor I was, and sought for riches,
Something that would satisfy,
But the dust I gathered round me
Only mocked my soul’s sad cry.

Well of water, ever springing,
Bread of life, so rich and free,
Untold wealth that never faileth,
My Redeemer is to me.

Dear Greg, the change was made in reference to Romans 5:10: "...much more we will be saved in His life, having been reconciled".

I am puzzled that the word blood was exchanged with the word life, in the chorus. It is by the shedding of His blood I am saved.

I look forward to hearing from you.

A song that fills my spirit and meditate right then. Praise God for His faithfulness!

Matthew

Hey I just noticed that you substituted blood in the chorus for life

and I wanted to know why you felt the need to do that?

although it is true that we are currently being saved as we are being led to glory as He is not only the Author but the Finisher of our faith, but the song is more primarily speaking of the atonement which was wrought through His death by which our sins are forgiven. The blood is a very important doctrinal point which the apostles frequently refer back to in the epistles, namely Paul in Romans, the author of Hebrews, etc. I dont feel that it is necessary or appropriate to omit it.

Matthew

Love this song! brings back so many great memories. Been singing it since I was a child. Wonderful truth, the Lord truely does satisfy.

Ho everyone that thristeth come to the waters!

Nothing and no one can satisfy us but only the Lord can.

Praise the Lord! It made me grow now and then as a part of His Body.
