I cannot contain this love
I cannot contain this love
I cannot contain this love
I cannot contain this love
The boundary lines have fallen in welcome places
The Lord is my defender and my shield
I will keep my eyes always, always
Set on You
Forever You're my joy
If my heart is a cup
Your love is an ocean
You fill me up
Like rivers overflowing
If my heart is a cup
Your love is an ocean
You fill me up
Like rivers overflowing
The boundary lines have fallen in welcome places
The Lord is my defender and my shield
I will keep my eyes always, always
Set on You
Forever You're my joy
I cannot contain this love
I cannot contain this love
I cannot contain this love
I cannot contain this love
My heart is a cup
Your love is an ocean
You fill me up
Like rivers overflowing
My heart is a cup
Your love is an ocean
God, You fill me up
Like rivers overflowing
I cannot contain this love
I cannot contain this love
I cannot contain this love
I cannot contain this love
