Song : Overflow
Artist: TobyMac
Album: The Elements
Writer: Shy Carter, Toby McKeehan, Josh Miller
Clap your hands, everybody
Everybody, just clap your hands
Clap your hands, everybody
Everybody, just clap your hands
Some things money can’t buy but a man’s gotta eat
Bread don’t just fall out the sky and land at your feet
I was tryin’ to fly high but I ran low like I’m sittin’ on E
And my well ran dry ’til you came and made it rain on me
You fill my cup up ’till it overflows
And it’s the sweetest love that I’ve ever known
So blow it on me, all that I need, deep down in my soul
Fill my cup up ’til it overflows
Oh, yeah
They say nothin’ is perfect, that ain’t true (No, sir)
‘Cause You came and opened these eyes to the glory of You
You turned water to wine, you make a new man in me
And every time I’m runnin’ empty
You fill my cup up ’til it overflows
And it’s the sweetest love that I’ve ever known
So blow it on me, all that I need, deep down in my soul
Fill my cup up ’til it overflows
Overflows
Overflows
(One, two, three, four)
It ain’t a glass half full or a glass half empty
It’s runnin’ over, it can’t fit me
Down every side through the ground
Mo’ than enough to go around
Come and get it, come and get it while it’s hot
Come and get it, come and get it nonstop
‘Cause the only thing sweeter than a love song
Is singin’ a love that goes on and on and on and on
You fill my cup up ’til it overflows
You are the sweetest love, sweetest love that I’ve ever known
So blow it on me, all that I need, deep down in my soul
Fill my cup up ’til it overflows
That’s what I’m talkin’ about
Overflows
Overflows
Clap your hands, everybody
Everybody, just clap your hands
Clap your hands, everybody
Everybody, just clap your hands
