EMPTY CUP, FULL HEART

+ Show full styles

[Intro] Hmm, there's something beautiful about people who notice when your cup is empty. Not everybody checks on the strong one. Not everybody sees the giver getting weak. But when God sends somebody to pour back into you, that's love. That's covering. That's blessing. [Verse 1] I've been pouring from my soul till my hands got tired Lighting everybody's candles while I lost my fire Prayed for storms I didn't cause, held up hearts that broke Smiled through my own tears while I gave folks hope I was showing up for people who never saw me fall Had my back against the wall, still answering every call [piano enters] But even strong hearts tremble when the night gets cold Even gold needs hands that won't let it fold [Chorus] Then God sent the ones who didn't come to drain They saw my empty cup and poured love in my pain They checked on my spirit, spoke life in my chest Said you don't have to carry everybody's mess Empty cup, full heart I've been giving love even when I fell apart Empty cup, full heart God sent real ones to cover every scar Pour back into me, when my cup runs low Hold me with love when my tears don't show I've been strong so long but I need strength too Sometimes the healer needs some healing to get through [Verse 2] Some folks only came close when they needed my light Wanted all my prayers but never asked if I'm alright I gave them grace in silence, gave them love through war But my spirit started whispering, "You deserve more" Now I cherish the hands that don't reach just to take The ones who see my heart before they see what I can make The ones who say, "Rest now, I got you, breathe" 'Cause God sent souls that my heart won't leave [Bridge] They don't drain my peace, they help me stand again They don't judge my tears, they pray me through the wind They see past my smile, they feel what I don't say They remind my soul that love still makes a way [Chorus] Empty cup, full heart I've been giving love even when I fell apart Empty cup, full heart God sent real ones to cover every scar Pour back into me, when my cup runs low Hold me with love when my tears don't show I've been strong so long but I need strength too Sometimes the healer needs some healing to get through [Outro] Empty cup, full heart I was almost dry, but God played His part Empty cup, full heart Now I cherish the ones who loved me from the start Because even the strongest people need somebody to say, "I got you too." And when you find people like that, cherish them. Because empty cups still deserve to be filled. And full hearts still deserve to be loved.
