Cup of Salvation

A current favorite song of mine, based on Psalm 116.

I love the Lord, for He heard my voice

And answered my cry for mercy

Because He listened to me

I will call upon Him as long as I live

What shall I render to the Giver of life

And who all things are made?

What shall I render to the One who paints the oceans blue -

Jesus Christ?

I will lift up a cup of salvation

Call on the name of the Lord

How do I repay the life that You gave?

I'll call on the name of the Lord

Lift up a cup You have already poured

What kind of rendering is found in this taking

Found in this drinking of love

Love so abundant He meets me in depravity

With one thing to give

What shall I render to the Giver of life

And who all things are made?

What shall I render to the One who paints the oceans blue -

Jesus Christ?

You have delivered my soul from death

My eyes from tears

My feet from stumbling

And I will walk before the Lord

In the land of the living

I will lift up a cup of salvation

Call on the name of the Lord

How do I repay the life that You gave?

I'll call on the name of the Lord

Lift up a cup You have already poured
