A CUP RUNNETH OVER
A cup runneth over surely prevails
Above dining table midst angst of dearth
Oh, bountiful supply that never fails
Since God pours always blessings with grace-worth.
Evidence of miracles’ prevalence
A cup runneth over surely prevails
Smiting unbelief of great turbulence
For the Lord grants gracious provision-pails.
Against scarcity that grievously ails
Afflicting giving and sharing gladness
A cup runneth over surely prevails
While the Almighty proves His faithfulness.
Trusting the Creator, wondrous life Source
My heart thanks Him, and His compassion hails
As He fills me to say along hard course…
“A cup runneth over* surely prevails.”
*Psalm 23:6 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
