The Cup

Empty, why are you so empty when I constantly fill you up I start the day full, but end with nothing in my cup. I scour the earth for the cup that never empties He, who’s been here longer than centuries. He who sent his only son So that we, would no longer run. So instead we walk straight into his arms. As he holds us, protects us, from all harm. And as he holds you he heals your scars And gives you a heart, that could hold the stars. I scour the earth for the cup that never empties I’ve searched the earth for what feels like centuries. I’ve looked high, low, left, and right. But it seems as though I’ll go to bed empty tonight And as I give up I hear a great shout. His voice in my head asking about my hearts doubt For I didn’t believe and I made my heart hard Keeping it locked and under guard But he broke down the gate For knowing him was my fate He filled up my cup And healed my hearts every cut And sent me into the world with a cup that never empties To spread the news about a god that's been here longer than centuries
