William Mcdowell and Chris Lawson's live worship song 'Only You Can Satisfy' declares that only Jesus can truly fulfill the deepest longings of the heart and soul. The lyrics contrast the temporary satisfaction offered by the world with the eternal satisfaction found in Christ, referencing the biblical story of the woman at the well and Jesus' offer of living water. The song emphasizes that worldly pursuits leave one thirsty again, but drawing from Jesus brings lasting contentment. It is a simple, repetitive, and meditative worship piece focused on the sufficiency of Christ alone.

Only You can satisfy my heart
Only You can satisfy my soul
Only You can satisfy my heart
Jesus, Jesus

Only You can satisfy my heart
Only You can satisfy my soul
Only You can satisfy my heart
Jesus, Jesus

Only You can satisfy my heart
Only You can satisfy my soul
Only You can satisfy my heart
Jesus, Jesus

If I take what the world has offered
I'll have to come again, again and again
With just one drink of his living water
I'll never thirst again, I'll never thirst again

Only You can satisfy my heart
Only You can satisfy my soul
Only You can satisfy my heart
Jesus, Jesus

Only You can satisfy my heart
Only You can satisfy my soul
Only You can satisfy my heart
Jesus, Jesus

Only You can satisfy my heart
Only You can satisfy my soul
Only You can satisfy my heart
Jesus, Jesus
If I take what the world has offered
I'll have to come again, again and again
Just one drink of his living water
I'll never thirst again, I'll never thirst again

Jacob's well will never do
So I will draw from You
This old world will never do
So I will draw from You

Jacob's well will never do
So I will draw from You
This old world will never do
So I will draw from You

Jacob's well will never do
So I will draw from You
This old world will never do
So I will draw from You

Jacob's well will never do
So I will draw from You
This old world will never do
So I will draw from You

Jacob's well will never do
So I will draw from You
This old world will never do
So I will draw from You

Jacob's well will never do
So I will draw from You
This old world will never do
So I will draw from You

Jacob's well will never do
So I will draw from You
This old world will never do
So I will draw from You

Jacob's well will never do
So I will draw from You
This old world will never do
So I will draw

Only You can satisfy my heart
Only You can satisfy my soul
Only You can satisfy my heart
Jesus, Jesus

Only You can satisfy my heart
Only You can satisfy my soul
Only You can satisfy my heart
Jesus, Jesus
