Lyrics
Intro
I count my blessings one by one
Your goodness in my life
How could I ask for more
In You, I'm satisfied
Verse 1
All the mountains that I ascend
They leave me empty time and time again
I fix my eyes on this reward
The world behind me now and You before
Chorus
I count my blessings one by one
Your goodness in my life
How could I ask for more
In You, I'm satisfied
If You are all I have
I know that I will find
That You are all I need
In You, I'm satisfied
Verse 2
So let my life be freely spent
For what only, only You can give
My richest gain I count as loss
When I survey the wonder of the cross
Chorus
I count my blessings one by one
Your goodness in my life
How could I ask for more
In You, I'm satisfied
If You are all I have
I know that I will find
That You are all I need
In You, I'm satisfied
Bridge
Nothing else, nothing else
Nothing else will ever satisfy
No one else, no one else
No one else will ever satisfy
There's nothing else
There's nothing else that will ever satisfy
There's no one else, no
There's no one else
Chorus
I count my blessings one by one
Your goodness in my life
How could I ask for more
In You, I'm satisfied
If You are all I have
I know that I will find
That You are all I need
In You, I'm satisfied
Outro
You satisfy my soul (nothing else)
My soul (nothing else)
Oh, yes, You do (nothing else will ever satisfy)
You satisfy my soul (no one else)
My soul (no one else)
Oh, yes, You do (no one else will ever satisfy)
Nothing else, nothing else
Nothing else will ever satisfy
No one else, no one else
No one else will ever satisfy

Meaning & Inspiration
Satisfied contrasts temporary achievement with the sufficiency found in God. Mountains may be climbed and rewards pursued, yet the lyric says such gains repeatedly leave the singer empty. Against that disappointment, counting blessings and fixing attention on God become acts of contentment. The chorus makes its central confession plainly: even if God is all that remains, he is all that is needed. Its recurring language of goodness keeps this contentment connected to gratitude rather than resignation.
The second verse sharpens the theme through surrender. A life freely spent for what only God can give is paired with counting personal gain as loss while considering the cross. That wording directly recalls Philippians 3:8 and also draws on the hymn tradition surrounding the cross. The bridge removes every competing source of ultimate fulfillment through its repetition of nothing else and no one else. Psalm 107:9 offers a close biblical parallel by describing God as the one who satisfies the longing soul. Together, these themes present Christian satisfaction as trust in divine goodness, gratitude for grace, and freedom from treating worldly success as the final reward.
