Jason Crabb - Satisfied Lyrics
Lyrics
You satisfied my soul
And I stand the mains
At the blessings I know and still
to this day the mercies you show
Make it clear to see
That you love me.
And you give each breath I breathe
Your color, the skies with beautiful leaves
You've proven that you will provide for my needs
The way you feel me Lord,
How could I ask for more?
And now I'm satisfied, satisfied
I've been cared for so faithful leave
But Lord here my bleed
May it be that you're satisfied with me.
You give me grace without end
And you have forever removed all my..
now don't make her of heaven
and dirt cause me friend
and from the joy that brings
oh how my spirit seems.
That I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied
I've been cared for so faithful leave
But Lord here my bleed
And may it be that you're satisfied with me.
Lord, feel my bleed
May it be and you're satisfied
Oh you're satisfied,
please be satisfied with me.

Meaning & Inspiration
Jason Crabb's "Satisfied," released on January 1, 2013, as part of the *Satisfied Performance Tracks - Single* album, delivers a profound expression of Christian devotion, charting a journey from a heart overflowing with gratitude to a humble yearning for divine approval. The song's essence lies in its beautiful articulation of what it means to be wholly content in God's provision and love, while simultaneously aspiring to live a life that brings Him joy. It is a prayer, a praise, and a profound theological reflection woven into a deeply personal narrative.
The song begins by acknowledging the source of all spiritual fulfillment, declaring, "You satisfied my soul." This immediate affirmation resonates with biblical truths found in passages like Psalm 107:9, which states, "For he satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with good things." The initial verses recount the overwhelming evidence of God's unwavering presence: the countless blessings received, the daily mercies shown, and the irrefutable proof of His personal love. This echoes Lamentations 3:22-23, reminding us that "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." The lyrics further describe God as the giver of every breath, the artist who "colors the skies with beautiful leaves," and the provider for all needs. This imagery points to God's role as Creator and Sustainer, as seen in Matthew 6:26, where Jesus encourages us to "Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" The question "How could I ask for more?" encapsulates a spirit of complete contentment in His abundant care, reflecting Philippians 4:19, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
The heart of "Satisfied" reveals itself in a powerful transition within the chorus. While the singer expresses personal satisfaction – "And now I'm satisfied, satisfied / I've been cared for so faithfully" – the focus shifts from receiving to giving. The heartfelt plea, "But Lord, hear my plea / May it be that You're satisfied with me," introduces a spiritual aspiration common to believers. This is not a plea born of doubt in God's grace, but rather a humble desire to honor Him through one's life. It aligns with the Apostle Paul's encouragement in Colossians 1:10, to "walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him," and Romans 12:1, which urges us to "present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship." This longing to please God is a natural outflow of genuine gratitude and love.
The subsequent verses delve deeper into the transformative power of God's grace. Crabb sings of receiving "grace without end" and having "forever removed all my [burdens/sins]," which captures the profound liberation found in salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 beautifully articulates this: "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." The lyrics also touch upon a contrast between earthly struggles and heavenly perspective, implying that through God's intervention, joy springs forth, causing the spirit to soar. This spiritual freedom and overflowing joy resonate with Psalm 16:11, "You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." The repetition of the chorus reinforces this dual theme: the overwhelming peace of being satisfied *by* God, and the earnest prayer to be satisfying *to* God. The song’s gentle bridge further emphasizes the depth of this desire, crying out, "Oh, You're satisfied, please be satisfied with me." This is not a transactional request, but an intimate longing for alignment, for a life lived so fully in His will that it brings Him glory and delight. It speaks to the ultimate goal of the Christian journey: to glorify God and enjoy Him forever, seeking His face and His approval above all else. "Satisfied" stands as a powerful anthem of faith, inspiring us to reflect on God's immeasurable goodness and to actively pursue a life that pleases the One who has given us everything.
