The Cup
Verse 1
The Cup of Peace is mine to drink
Its sweetness mine to savor
In it I find the ties that bind
All those who love my Savior
We have a fellowship Divine
For Jesus was forsaken
By man rejected and despised
That we might share communion
So I will drink this cup of peace
It helps me to remember
That Jesus drank the cup of wrath
To make me His forever
Verse 2
The Cup of Joy is mine to hold
Through all life’s tribulation
No harm or sorrow I may face
Can shake my faith’s foundation
For Jesus sweat great drops of blood
While in the garden praying
And there He choose to drink His cup
The Father’s will obeying
So I will drink this cup of joy
It helps me to remember
That Jesus drank the cup of pain
To make me His forever
Verse 3
The Cup of Life is mine to have
Though I could never earn it
My sin can only lead to death
I’m wholly undeserving
This is the mystery of the cross
Beyond all comprehension
Christ took my death and gave me life
O wondrous substitution
So I will drink this cup of life
It helps me to remember
That Jesus drank the cup of death
To make me His forever
