The Cup

Oh Father, I did
All You told me to do
I did all You asked
All You asked
And though You know
That I trust in You
If it's possible
Won't You let this cup pass
Let it pass

I know Sunday's coming
And in the morning
It'll all be new
It'll all be new
But today it's Thursday
Oh Lord, it's Thursday
And Friday's coming soon
It's coming soon

Lord won't You take this cup
Won't You take it from me
But if it's You will
I'm ready to drink

Oh Father
I'm on my knees asking
What did I do
To deserve this pain
Deserve this pain
You took my kids
You took my wealth
You took my health
You took my everything
And now my wife says
To curse Your name
I could just curse Your name

But You're the one
Who made the stars
Who brings the snow
Who brings the sunshine
And brings the rain
Lord You bring the rain
So I'll trust You
In the darkness
When You give
And take away
I'll bless Your name
I'll bless Your name

Lord won't You take this cup
Won't You take it from me
But if it's You will
You know I'm ready to drink

You said this world is not our own
And a new day's coming soon
This world is not our own
And our savior is coming soon

Three times I asked
That this thorn of mine
Might be removed
Lord might it be removed
And when He finally answered me
Oh did He answer me
He said My grace is sufficient for you
It's sufficient for you

Lord, Your mercies are new
In the morning
But right now
You know that it's night
It's such a dark night
But in the valley
Of the shadow of death
I will not fear
For You are by my side
Lord, You're by my side

Lord won't You take this cup
Won't You take it from me
You defeated death
But it still stings

Lord, we know that
The great day's coming
And in the morning
It'll all be new
It'll all be new
But today, we're waiting
Oh Lord, we're waiting
Won't You come back soon
