when she offered the cup – v6


when she offered the cup
the gift of Christ’s sacrifice
her language discordant
words unfamiliar,
“the blessings of Christ”,

these words she spoke to us
imparting that gift
the wine tasting different
not of sacrifice

as we received the cup
we heard new words
blessings of our Savior
the blessings of Christ
the gift of His love

“when you offered the cup. Usually is it
"the blood of Christ shed for you";
but you focused on the blessings.”
