The Bitterness of that Cup

The sweetness of his offering
giving himself for us
the bitterness of that cup
raised to his servant lips

Oh that moment in the garden
when our savior submitted
giving his all for us
that we would truly live

God gives us, and willingly put it to our lips”

“‎"O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me:
nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt."
