"Satisfied" lyrics

Satisfied

I've got that old time religion
Got that old time religion
And that is why
I'm satisfied

Now you ask me if I'm happy
Do I have peace within
Do I worry about tomorrow
When I reach my journey's end

Well 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

Satisfied, satisfied
No troubles can ever get me down
When my eyes are closed in death
With my Jesus I'll be at rest
Then you'll know I'm satisfied

Now if my friends they all forsake me
And they turn me from their door
If they sow no seeds of kindness
Make the thorns in my path grow

Well it won't matter over yonder
When I reach the other side
I'm a gonna sit down by my Jesus
Satisfied, satisfied

I'm satisfied, satisfied
No troubles can ever get me down
When my eyes are closed in death
With my Jesus I'll be at rest
Then you'll know I'm satisfied

I've got that old time religion
Got that old time religion
And that is why I'm satisfied
