Shane & Shane's 'Cup of Salvation' is a worship song that reflects on God's deliverance and the appropriate response of gratitude. The lyrics draw from Psalm 116, expressing love for the Lord because He hears and answers prayers. The song poses the question of how to repay God for His gift of life, concluding that the only fitting response is to lift the cup of salvation and call on His name. It acknowledges God's deliverance from death, tears, and stumbling, and commits to walking before Him. The song emphasizes thanksgiving, salvation, and the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice.

I love the Lord for He heard my voice
And answered my cry for mercy
Because He listened to me
I will call upon Him as long as I live
What shall I render to the Giver of life
And who all things are made
What shall I render to the one
Who paints the oceans blue, Jesus Christ
I will lift up the cup of salvation
Call on the name of the Lord
How do I repay the life that You gave
I call on the name of the Lord
Lift up the cup You have already poured
What kind of rendering is found in this taking
Found in this drinking of love?
Love so abundant, He leads me
And depravity one thing to give
What shall I render to the Giver of life
And who all things are made
What shall I render to the one
Who paints the oceans blue, Jesus Christ
I will lift up the cup of salvation
Call on the name of the Lord
How do I repay the life that You gave
I call on the name of the Lord
Lift up the cup You have already
You have delivered my soul from death
My eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling
And I will walk before the Lord
In the land of the living
I will lift up the cup of salvation
Call on the name of the Lord
How do I repay the life that You gave
I call on the name of the Lord
Lift up the cup You have poured
I will lift up the cup of salvation
Call on the name of the Lord
How do I repay the life that You gave
I call on the name of the Lord
And lift up the cup You have already poured
Already poured
