Cory Asbury's song is a prayer of desperation and trust, crying out to God from a place of spiritual thirst and brokenness. The lyrics ask God to make complacency an enemy and to cultivate a desperate dependence like King David's. Despite the raw honesty of need, the song affirms God's faithfulness, declaring that He never leaves us dry but fills our cup to overflowing. It references goodness and mercy following the believer, and celebrates God's love that lifts from ashes to a place of honor. The song balances honest lament with confident hope in God's provision.

And hear me, O Lord, when I cry

For I am broken, I?m thirsty, and I?m dry

God make complacency my enemy and Your fight

Let desperation be like David's key for my life


Surely goodness and mercy follow me

My cup runneth over, my cup runneth over

And the broken and the contrite, You have yet to deny

I lay before You, I lay bare before You


And You're never gonna leave me dry

No, You don't, no, You don't, no, You don't

You're always willing, my cup You'll be filling

And You're never gonna leave me dry

No, You don't, no, You don't, no, You don't

You're always willing, my cup You'll be filling


So hear me, O Lord, when I cry

For I am broken, I?m thirsty, and I?m dry

And God make complacency my enemy and Your fight

And let desperation be like David's key for my life


You fill us with Your love, overwhelm us with Your love

Take us from the ashes, seat us with princes

It?s what You do, it?s just what You do

You fill us with Your love, overwhelm us with Your love

Take us from the ashes, seat us with princes

It?s what You do, it?s just what You do!
