Story Behind The Song
Started writing this in '95, I think. It had been a few years since I had left the clubs and was wrestling to understand my musical and life ambitions. This one continues to stay close to my heart.

A prayer of commitment to reject the lures of this world that promise satisfaction, and to be satisfied with Jesus alone.

Lyrics
SATISFIED

VERSE 1:
I?m not looking for fame & recognition.
I?m not trying to make a name for myself.
I?ve already found a name I can believe in.
I?d be a fool to look for anything else.
CHORUS:
Jesus. Jesus.
There?s no other name like Jesus.
Jesus. Jesus.
I?m satisfied in Jesus.
VERSE 2:
I?m not looking for thrills & great adventure.
I?m not trying to make a life for myself.
I?ve already found a life I can believe in.
I?d be a fool to look for anything else.
CHORUS:
Jesus. Jesus.
There?s no other life like Jesus.
Jesus. Jesus.
I?m satisfied in Jesus.
BRIDGE:
Everyday I struggle.
I can be so double-minded
But Lord today I?m humbled
To respond as I?m reminded.
VERSE 3:
I?m not looking for wealth & acquisition.
I?m not trying to make it safe for myself.
I?ve already found a safety I believe in.
I?d be a fool to look for anything else.
CHORUS:
Jesus. Jesus.
There?s no other safety like Jesus.
Jesus. Jesus.
I?m satisfied in Jesus.
