Dear Friends,

Yesterday at church we sang an old hymn and as I sang I was amazed at how the words fit my life now in Christ. Do they fit you? Are they your testimony? If not, why not? God bless you.

Because of Calvary,

John Janney

• Psalm 107:9 (ESV)

  For he satisfies the longing soul,
  and the hungry soul he fills with good things.

“SATISFIED

“All my life long I had panted
For a drink, from some clear spring,

That I hoped would quench the burning

Of the thirst I felt within.

Feeding on the husks around me,

Till my strength was almost gone,

Longed my soul for something better,

Only still to hunger on.

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.

Well of water ever springing,

Bread of life so rich and free,

Untold wealth that never faileth,

My Redeemer is to me.”

Hallelujah! I have found Him

Whom my soul so long has craved!

Jesus satisfies my longings —

Through His blood I now am saved.
