Satisfied (2012)
Lyrics:Hesitation, guilt and hate
Not the things I want on my dinner plate
I know I'm "fed by Love alone"
but why is it so hard
To know dominion and control
are always of the Lord?
Teach me, oh God, to be satisfied with Thee
For You are my provider, always nourishing me
Help me hunger for your truth
in Thee I will confide
I'm ready now, for some food for thought
I cannot be denied
Sometimes it seems it's all on me
To know when to start and when to stop
But truly it's God, divine Principle,
who is nourishing me and guiding my heart
So, teach me, oh Lord, to be satisfied with Thee
for You are my provider, forever nourishing me
Help me hunger for Your word
in Thee I will confide,
I'm ready now, so fill my bowl
I cannot be denied
Thank you, God, for loving me
and feeding me with good
I cannot wait to go about my day
and be grateful for my food
For I am satisfied, oh God,
I am satisfied with Thee
My Father-Mother and provider,
I am satisfied with Thee
Oh, I am satisfied, oh God,
I am satisfied with Thee
Oh, I am satisfied, oh God,
I am satisfied with Thee

Great song. Not only food can present the question of what satisfies. Thank you for giving good thought on truly what satifies.
Beautiful, healing message! And sung with SOUL!!

What a generous and wonderful sharing. Truly satisfying: Blessing all. Would love to hear more. Thank you.
Very nicely done!
Perfect. Loved your message, and really loved your joy.
Wow…Thanks Lauren!
I love to think about all of our substance and supply coming from God. That abundance does not mean excess, and that lack is never included in God’s plan for us. This song reminds me of the perfect balance we have in the infinite, abundant, love of God.
Thanks again for sharing! Keep it up!

Sister Lauren and Brother Phil,
Thank you for bringing this beautifully fresh track to our table. My favorite prayer from Proverbs:
“Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me” (Proverbs 30: 7-8).
Amen, amen, amen! SATISFIED!
Lauren, encourage the artist Lauren to record a CD!!! I’d buy several!
What an amazing and uplifting song!!! Where can I get a copy of it?!?
You sweet people, thank you for your song! Awesome topic of choice (I’m still learning more about this one myself), and you both express it so beautifully. :) Keep it up!!
Awesome track, Lauren and Phil! Thanks for sharing your gifts. Being satisfied is a great topic to think about, there’s a lot telling us that we aren’t always provided for, so I’m glad you took it on!
Really great! Amazing…one take.
This song was recorded live in one take. W o w. Lauren & Phil, you both amaze and inspire me. Thanks for shining like the sun.
