Verse 1 :
All my life long I had panted
For a drink from some cool spring,
That I hoped would quench the burning
Of the thirst I felt within

Chorus :
Hallelujah! I had found Him
Whom my soul so long has craved
Jesus satisfies my longings;
Through His blood I now am saved

Verse 2 :
Feeding on the husks around me
Till my strength was almost gone
Longed my soul for Something better,
Only still to hunger on.

Verse 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.

Verse 4 :
Well of water, ever springing
Bread of life, so rich and free,
Untold wealth that never faileth,
My redeemer is to me.
