From the recording Sparrow
The chorus of this song is a quote by Amy Carmichael I just had to put somewhere so I wouldn't forget it: "If a sudden jar can cause me to speak an impatient, unloving word, then I know nothing of Calvary love. For a cup brimful of sweet water cannot spill even one drop of bitter water, however suddenly jolted." Shout out to the band at Orange Studios in Christchurch, NZ, and producer Michael Bell for the vibe :)
Lyrics
Out of the overflow of my heart
my mouth should speak your praise
Out of the fullness of your love
my life should abound with grace
For a cup brimful of sweet water
cannot spill one bitter drop
however suddenly jolted
Sometimes I lose my patience
and I say things I don't mean
Sometimes it's all I can do to keep my
head above the rushing stream
But a cup brimful of sweet water
cannot spill one bitter drop
however suddenly jolted
So I slow down, catch my breath
and count your graces again
As I turn around, look you full in the face
You fill my cup to the brim
with your sweet water
your sweet water
And a cup brimful of sweet water
cannot spill one bitter drop
however suddenly jolted...
