If you ask me if i'm happy 
For I have peace within 
If I'm worried about tomorrow 
 
When I reach my journey's end 
 
I'm satisfied with my Jesus 
 
When he knocks I let him in 
 
He'll go with me through the valley 
 
For I know he is my friend 
 
Chorus: 
 
 
Satisfied, Satisfied 
 
No trouble can ever get me down 
 
When my eyes shall close in death 
 
With my Jesus I'll be at rest 
 
Then you'll know I'm satisfied 
 
 
When my friends all forsake me 
 
When they turn me from their door 
 
If they sow no seedsof kindness 
 
Make the thorns in my path grow 
 
It won't matter over yonder 
 
When I reach the other side 
 
I'm gonna sit down with my Jesus 
 
And then you'll know I'm satisfied 
 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
 
When my eyes shall close in death 
 
With my Jesus I'll be at rest 
 
Then you'll know I'm satisfied
