Before the sun has touched the sky
Colors bursting from your eyes
Before the flood of the morning light

Before the earth has felt your heat
Before I stand up to my feet
Before I begin to feel this weak

Satisfy me Lord
Satisfy me Lord
I’m begging you to help me see
You’re all I want you’re what I need
Satisfy me Lord

And when the day is closing in like the stars in the night
I am falling into the pull of the earth and its affections

In me O Lord can you create a pure heart
Because I’m afraid that I just might run back
To the things I hate

Satisfy me Lord
Satisfy me Lord
I’m begging you to help me see
You’re all I want you’re what I need
Satisfy me Lord

You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You’re more than all this world can give
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
Your love is all I need to live

You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You’re more than all this world can give
You’re beautiful
More beautiful
Your love is all I need to live

Satisfy me Lord
Satisfy me Lord
I’m begging you to help me see
You’re all I want you’re what I need
Satisfy me Lord



Behind the Song:
“The song ‘Satisfy’ is a prayer. It’s saying, ‘Look God, you need to satisfy me because everything I want, whether I realize it or not, is you. If you don’t come and satisfy me, I’m afraid that I’m going to do exactly what I don’t want to do which is I’m going to run to other things.’ That’s what the second verse says. It says, ‘I just might run back to the things I hate, unless you satisfy me.’ So that’s the prayer." - Mike Donehey (Tenth Avenue North)
