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
