Cup of Salvation

Cup of Salvation

 

I will lift up the cup of salvation

to see it overflow

As I receive more grace from you-

and Find joy in the OneÝ that I know.

 

I'll serve you by receiving

and be drenched by the fountain of faith

The giver gets the glory

as you pour out your mercyÝ and grace.

 

You came to serve and not to be served by man

Every thing we have to bring comes from your provident hand.

 

I will lift up the cup of salvation

As you pour outÝ your blessings and peace

And as my thirst is satisfied

I'll desireÝ that it shall never cease

 

In the day of trouble I will call out

And deliverance will be outpoured

I will lift up the cup of salvation

And call on the name of the Lord

 

For when we lift up

Salvation's cup

God gets the glory

And we get the joy

So for all the nations

This cup of salvation

Is poured out for men to enjoy!

 

I'll serve you by receiving

and be drenched by the fountain of faith

The giver gets the glory

as you pour out your mercyÝ and grace.
