The Satisfaction Song

The Satisfaction Song

V1
I know you're seeking after happiness.
Well why wouldn't you? I do too!
But we've both been dead for so long,
That anything we get, we can't enjoy.

Chorus
And we cry for something better.
But by that we just mean more
Of the same unsatisfaction,
'Cause we hate the alternative: loving God.

V2
And what if I told you I found joy?
Not the kind you're used to, this will cost you everything.
Your girlfriend's bed, your selfish praise
Will never match the ravishing delight of Christ.

Bridge
Get out of your girlfriend's bed!
You're selling yourself short.
Destroy that selfish praise!
You've gotta die to self, to live to Christ.
