All my life long I had panted

1
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.
2
Feeding on the husks around me,
  Till my strength was almost gone,
Longed my soul for something better,
  Only still to hunger on.
3
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.
4
Well of water, ever springing,
  Bread of life, so rich and free,
Untold wealth that never faileth,
  My Redeemer is to me.

Lord, thank You for satisfying me with Yourself.

I have always heard the lyrics as "Hallelujah! He has found Me" rather than "I have found Him!"

I think the song has so much more power we we sing that He has found us, because it so clearly articulates our need.

Amen. Truly that God is the only One who can satisfy our longing. Praise the Lord that He is so available to us. We need to pursue and run the race today so that in the coming kingdom age we will reign with Him. Hallelujah!

"Saints, we should realize that we do not need to ask the Lord to deliver us. He will come to be with us and take care of us in our suffering, making our place of suffering a pleasant situation." [ICBM]. In Christ, brother Mamay. AMEN.

Amen, truly there is an infinite hole in our hearts that only the Lord can satisfy. I almost have everything, family, business and wealth but without Him all these things are nothing! Hallelujah! I have found Him whom my soul so long has craved! He is the only real satisfaction we have. What else do we need to seek for?

Money, education, pleasure nor success cannot completely satisfy our existence as a human being because only the most wonderful, the most beautiful, the most marvelous and glorious Person in the universe can - our all-inclusive Savior Jesus Christ. Hallelujah through His life we are now saved!
