I am Satisfied

When death is all around

And your time is next

By the pain of persecution

Your soul is sorely vexed

And the call is to give up your life

There is meaning in the cross

That reaches to the depths of strife

To promise gain from anguished loss

And I am satisfied in the crucified

The cross shall be my plea

And I am satisfied in the crucified

And the blood that was shed for me

The blood that sets me free.

If to death I am called

To lose my life for Christ

Or if I live to give my all

To become a living sacrifice

I know t’will be by grace alone

That I may follow there

My keeper will see it done

That cross he’ll help me bear

And I am satisfied in the crucified

The cross shall be my plea

And I am satisfied in the crucified

And the blood that was shed for me

The blood that sets me free.
