Lyrics
Only You can satisfy my heart
Only You can satisfy my soul
Only You can satisfy my heart
Jesus, Jesus
Only You can satisfy my heart
Only You can satisfy my soul
Only You can satisfy my heart
Jesus, Jesus
Only You can satisfy my heart
Only You can satisfy my soul
Only You can satisfy my heart
Jesus, Jesus
If I take what the world has offered
I'll have to come again, again and again
With just one drink of his living water
I'll never thirst again, I'll never thirst again
Only You can satisfy my heart
Only You can satisfy my soul
Only You can satisfy my heart
Jesus, Jesus
Only You can satisfy my heart
Only You can satisfy my soul
Only You can satisfy my heart
Jesus, Jesus
Only You can satisfy my heart
Only You can satisfy my soul
Only You can satisfy my heart
Jesus, Jesus
If I take what the world has offered
I'll have to come again, again and again
Just one drink of his living water
I'll never thirst again, I'll never thirst again
Jacob's well will never do
So I will draw from You
This old world will never do
So I will draw from You
Jacob's well will never do
So I will draw from You
This old world will never do
So I will draw from You
Jacob's well will never do
So I will draw from You
This old world will never do
So I will draw from You
Jacob's well will never do
So I will draw from You
This old world will never do
So I will draw from You
Jacob's well will never do
So I will draw from You
This old world will never do
So I will draw from You
Jacob's well will never do
So I will draw from You
This old world will never do
So I will draw from You
Jacob's well will never do
So I will draw from You
This old world will never do
So I will draw from You
Jacob's well will never do
So I will draw from You
This old world will never do
So I will draw
Only You can satisfy my heart
Only You can satisfy my soul
Only You can satisfy my heart
Jesus, Jesus
Only You can satisfy my heart
Only You can satisfy my soul
Only You can satisfy my heart
Jesus, Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
Only You Can Satisfy is built around a direct confession that Christ alone can fill the heart and soul. The repeated refrain gives that claim the character of sustained worship rather than a passing thought. In contrast, everything offered by the world requires another return and leaves thirst unresolved. Jesus is presented as the lasting source of life, with the image of living water carrying the song from desire toward trust.
The reference to Jacobs well places the central image beside the account of Jesus and the Samaritan woman. In John 4:13-14, ordinary water answers thirst only temporarily, while the water Christ gives becomes a source of eternal life. The lyric also corresponds to John 6:35, where Jesus says that the one who comes to Him will not hunger and the one who believes in Him will never thirst. Repetition strengthens the contrast: the well and the world cannot finally satisfy, so the singer resolves to draw from Christ. The song remains a focused prayer of dependence on Jesus as the sufficient source for both heart and soul.
