The cup of salvation
pouring love into us
changing us from the inside
washing over us
Filling our empty hearts
replacing the world
making us wholly new
to walk in your presence
Children of the savior
sheep of us flock
pouring out a blessing
to the ends of the earth
Pouring out our gifts
life a libation
offering hope to the world
the joy of our salvation
