I AM SATISFIED IN CHRIST

A poem on Psalm 84


The world offers treasures

Endless hollow pleasures

That lures me to pursue

And promises something new


Come chase after gold

There’s so much to hold

Such joy in wealth

Better than health

Long for men to cheer

Love their praise to hear


But it is worth far less

Than all the press

Its promise of peace

Will suddenly cease

All its deceiving delights

End in a thousand dark nights


God is the measure

Of what is real treasure

The cross is the place

To make my heart race

In the death of my King

My heart will now sing

Joy is my possession

Gone all transgression


Rising up from the grave

This rebel to save

The cross is my glory

It is my whole story

It cannot be priced

I am satisfied in Christ
