Fill My Cup Lord

My family and I were recently listening to an old hymn-sing on TV featuring the Gaithers and other gospel artists associated with them. It was great to hear some of the songs I grew up in church singing but don’t hear so much anymore. The theology in these songs is amazing. One of my favorites that they performed was “Fill My Cup Lord.” I’ve been studying the book of John with my department over the last several months, and I was privileged to give a devotional relating to the account of the woman at the well (John 4) which this song is based on. Enjoy.

Verse 2

Verse 3
