James Morgan Walters' Poem


I READ IN THE BIBLE

I read in the Bible what Jesus promised, and did both to the living and the dead.
Makes me wonder if man will ever be satisfied.
Jesus turned the water into wine, that the thirsty Jews might be satisfied.
Then what more could he do that he might satisfy you?

He multiplied the fishes and bread, that the hungry multitude might be fed.
That they might be satisfied, then what more could he do that he might satisfy you?

He made the blind to see and the deaf to hear, and the lame to walk, and the dumb to talk.
Then what more could he do that he might satisfy you?

He healed the sick, he raised the dead, and preached the gospel to the poor.
Then what more could he do that he might satisfy you?

He died and rose again, that you might die and do the same.
Then what more could he do that he might satisfy you?

He assended to heaven, and the angels says that he is coming back again.
Then what more could he do that he might satisfy you?

He said to the dead, “I’ll open your graves, I will bring you back alive, I will place you back in your own land.”
Then what more could he do that he might satisfy you?

He is coming back to earth again, a thousand years of peace to reign.
Oh, yes, we will have a thousand years of righteous reign, to shout and praise our Priest and King.
Then what more could he do that he might satisfy you?

Oh! Yes, he is going to take away this strong heart of mine.
He is going to give me a new heart and a new mind.
He is going to wash me in pure water, he is going to make me fit to walk the golden streets, with my friends and loved ones there to meet, and I’ll be satisfied, oh, yes, then I’ll be satisfied.
