GHS 132 : Running Over Lyrics
GHS 132, “Running Over,” is a hymn of pure, overflowing joy in the salvation of Christ. The image at its heart comes from Psalm 23:5, where David declares “my cup runneth over,” and the hymn builds a full celebration on that single image. Since the Saviour came in, the cup of the believer’s life is not merely full but running over with joy divine, with freedom from fear, with comfort in the darkest valley, and with a happy assurance that defies the surrounding circumstances.
The final stanza reaches outward, inviting the sinner to seek the Lord and discover the same overflowing experience. This hymn appears as number 132 in the Gospel Hymns and Songs (GHS) collection, used in Deeper Life Bible Church and related assemblies across West Africa, and it suits praise services, testimony meetings, and any gathering celebrating the joy of being saved.
Hymn Lyrics – GHS 132: Running Over
- Since the Saviour came to this heart of mine, My cup’s fill’d and running over, Filling my poor soul with His joy divine, My cup’s fill’d and running over.
Running over, running over, My cup’s fill’d and running over, Since the Lord saved me, I’m as happy as can be, My cup’s fill’d and running over.
-
With my Lord so dear, I have naught to fear, My cup’s fill’d and running over, Tho’ my way be drear He is ever near, My cup’s fill’d and running over.
-
Even tho’ I walk thro’ death’s darksome vale, My cup’s fill’d and running over, Christ my Lord shall be my comfort still, My cup’s fill’d and running over.
-
Sinner, seek the Lord, trust His precious word, While the angels round you hover, Heaven’s bells will ring, and you then will sing, My cup’s fill’d and running over.
