A Bittersweet Cup - v2

The cup, which we share

a cup which he accepted

a bitter cup of sacrifice

a cup he did not want;

asking for it to be taken from him

from his lips, from that moment

that he would not have to drink;

but a cup from which he drank

a cup of our sorrows

which he shares with us today -

A cup of servanthood, of forgiveness

a cup of salvation
