My Cup Runneth Over…

Written April 25, 2004; Demian

My cup runneth over
  Lord, expand my cup

     Expand the cup of my willingness to receive
     Deepen the depths of my heart to love
     Broaden my mind to ponder your truths
     Widen my arms to embrace your life
     Strengthen my legs to walk your path
     Sharpen my ears to hear your voice
     Awaken my eyes to see your presence
     Sweeten my tongue to speak with kindness
     Temper my pride to listen to others

   Do all these things that I may live with compassion
      Expand the cup of my being

  For your blessings never cease
  Your well never runs dry
      It is I who place limits on your limitless sky

My cup runneth over with all your good
   Dear Lord, expand my cup
