[Verse 1]
Empty to be filled, the paradox is clear
The more I empty out, the more appears
Space for grace to flow abundantly
Empty to be filled, this sets me free
[Verse 2]
Like a cup that must be emptied first
Before the water quenches thirst
I must release to make the room
Empty to be filled, joy will bloom
[Pre-Chorus]
Emptying is not deprivation
Emptying is preparation
For receiving what heaven sends
Empty to be filled, no pretense
[Chorus]
Empty to be filled!
Empty to be filled!
The more I release, the more I receive
Empty to be filled, I believe!
Emptying is not losing at all
Empty to be filled, hear the call!
[Verse 3]
Nature shows this truth in every seed
That dies to give the plant its need
The tomb must empty for resurrection
Empty to be filled, divine direction
[Verse 4]
My hands must open, my heart must clear
My mind must quiet to truly hear
The still small voice that comes to those
Empty to be filled, the path He chose
[Pre-Chorus]
Emptying is not deprivation
Emptying is preparation
For receiving what heaven sends
Empty to be filled, no pretense
[Chorus]
Empty to be filled! (Paradox!)
Empty to be filled! (Opening locks!)
The more I release, the more I receive
Empty to be filled, I believe!
Emptying is not losing at all
Empty to be filled, hear the call!
[Bridge]
Pour me out! To fill me up!)
Empty my cup! To fill my cup!)
Make me low! To lift me high!)
Let me die! To truly fly!)
The paradox of the kingdom!
Sacred logic of wisdom!
Empty now to be filled!
Heaven's vow!
[Breakdown]
Every saint has known this way
Emptying comes before the day
Of filling, overflowing, abundance clear
Empty to be filled removes the fear
That letting go means having less
When actually it's heaven's yes
To more than I could ever hold
Empty to be filled, truth be told!
[Final Chorus]
Empty to be filled! (Paradox!)
Empty to be filled!
The more I release, the more I receive
Empty to be filled, I believe!
Emptying is not losing at all
Empty to be filled, hear the call!
[Coda]
Empty... to be filled...
Empty... to be... filled!
