Overall Meaning

The song "I Lift My Cup" by Gloworm is a gospel song that is full of symbolism. The repetition of the phrase "I lift my cup" is a reference to the biblical passage where Jesus lifts the cup and blesses it during the Last Supper. In this way, the song can be seen as a prayer for blessings and spiritual nourishment.


The first verse sets the tone by addressing the Lord and expressing humility in the face of his divine power. The lyrics speak to the human need for spiritual sustenance, which is represented by the cup. The imagery of the cup being lifted up is a symbolic gesture that represents an offering of oneself to God.


The second verse continues this theme by asking the Lord for his blessings and intervention in the lives of the singers. The lyrics refer to the "refilling" of their lives, suggesting that they feel spiritually depleted and in need of revitalization. The phrase "tend them now" is a plea for immediate intervention and help from the Lord. The repetition of the phrase "I lift my cup" at the end of the verse reinforces the idea that the singers are offering themselves up to God.


Overall, "I Lift My Cup" is a powerful gospel song that expresses a deep need for spiritual sustenance and connection to God. The use of symbolism and repetition adds to the emotional impact of the lyrics and emphasizes the importance of this spiritual connection.

Wow, thank you Jesus! I love this record. I used to go to record stores looking for gospel dance singles. When I found this record, I was so overjoyed. One of my cherished in my collection.
