I have found no satisfaction in the fleeting joys of earth
I have hewed me broken cisterns that have mocked me by their dearth
All the springs my soul have tested failed to meet my deepest need
Christ, alone, has met my longing, He has satisfied indeed!
Refrain:
Christ is not a disappointment! Every longing in my breast
Finds, in Him, complete fulfillment, He has brought me into rest
I have tested Him, and proved Him more than all I dreamed He'd be
Christ is not a disappointment, He is all in all to me!
Verse 2
I was tempted not to trust Him for so many things had failed
But so patiently He waited and His tenderness prevailed
So, I swung my heart's door open, and His promises I tried
Christ is not a disappointment, He has fully satisfied!
