DRINKING THE CUP

I do not want to be in a group where

The hearts of man are full of evil;

Where wickedness is common. 

The Supreme One will look down from heaven

upon the children of man; looking to see if any are wise

But He already knows; they do not seek after God

They do evil like the depraved; look away from

His precepts.  There are none that are good

None try to fool God; they are all failures

Not one good one can be found, but, I

Want to say however He knows our souls

We try to defend our weaknesses

But there is no central truth that will allow

Our corruption to sneak by; our wonderful gift of

Existence wasted; we have been cowards, liars, rapists,

Violent murderers and worshipers of false idols

Only His blood can keep us from going to the dead

We must abandon deceitfulness and corruption;

Almost impossible things to do until we accept

Forgiveness and drink the cup of His blood in

Remembrance of Him; another gift difficult to understand

We should be happy to bear part of the cross upon which

He died in order for us to form a new covenant

This would be a gift too great to comprehend

His love superseded our corruption.  Grace and mercy

Have been given and now it is up to us to go about

And do His work, prescribed by Him.  We will not be

Alone.  The Holy Spirit will be with us as we stay on

The fringes; the right path and the transformation

Will be complete.  We must trust in the Lord, drink

His cup in remembrance of Him.  A single star; the universe

Thank God for His love for us in giving us this chance for eternity
