I got that old time religion
Got that old-time religion
That is why...
I'm satisfied.
If you ask me if I'm happy
If I have peace within
If I'm worried about tomorrow
When I reach my journey's end
Well, I'm satisfied with my Jesus
When he knocks, I'll let him in
He'll go with me through the valley
For I know he is my friend.
Satisfied, satisfied
Satisfied, satisfied
No troubles can ever get me down
For 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
Oh, it won't matter over yonder
When I've reached that other side
'Cause I'm gonna sit down by my Jesus
Satisfied, satisfied.
