that you 6:28 think you'll get some pleasure from some satisfaction from when you please yourself and when you stoop to drink it all sin will ultimately disappoint and only Jesus alone can satisfy that's what we're singing and every every time we 6:42 choose self every time we choose not to die with Christ it's going to end in disappointment and we'll be mocked the our our Feelings Will Mock us we'll be disappointed but when we choose Christ like we sing none but Christ can satisfy 6:56 there's no no other name for me there's love and life and joy that lasts forever in Jesus Christ Alone
