My Cup / His Cup
I have my own cup to drink
how did you give it up
and say yes Lord thy will be done
Jesus you are so stronger than us
I was too broken to understand
taken and feasted on
not of my own hand
starved and beaten until nothing left
but a husk and false demands
The cup I’ve been given hurts
there’s a pit of sickness within
to love and forgive this feels
so very helpless
I knew I had a feeling
almost fell astray
the demons feasted
but it kept the devil away
Effortlessly she came
and walked in a door that’s mine
according to covenant ways
no hurt no pain
they don’t know me or know you
Lusted and defiled my mind in dirt
I refuse to play in the mud
those who want to stay that way
fine by me I’ll leave you to play
Empty words keep being thrown
don’t matter anymore
a heart turned to stone
that once held flesh filled love
that fought for something
only Jesus can give us
Piece by piece I got taken
by those who took permission
without being granted
The years the tears
where did I go
how did I get here
I want to go back to
Jesus loves the little children
before the heartbreak
before the taking
before I lost myself
inside of the madness
This cup I drink
was scorn
now it’s mourning
not my will
but the Heavenly Father’s
The only hope I have
is that He can share it
from the king of kings
I’ll sit with God
and watch it all unravel
and wait even till my last day if that’s what it takes
My heart hidden so deep in God
you’ll have to seek Him
just to find me.
