I've got that old time religion, got that old time religion
That is why I'm satisfied.
You ask me if I'm happy if I have peace within
If I'm worried about tomorrow when I reach my journey's end
Well I'm satisfied with my Jesus when He knocks I'll let Him in
He'll go with me through the valley for I know He is my friend.
Chorus:
Satisfied, satisfied, satisfied, satisfied no trouble can ever get me down
For when my eyes have closed in death
With my Jesus I'll be at rest
Then you'll know I'm satisfied
I've got that old time religion, got that old time religion
That is why I'm satisfied.
Now if my friends they all forsake me and they turn me from their door
If they sew no seeds of kindness make the thorn in my path grow
It won't matter over yonder when I reach that other side
For I'm going to sit down my Jesus satisfied, satisfied.
Chorus:
