He Drank From My Cup

he drank from my cup, my cup of affliction
he drank from my cup, my cup of suffering
he drank from my cup, my cup of death
he drank from my cup, my cup of sin

              he was made sin but known not it's path
              he drank from my cup
              he drank from my cup, the cup of curses
              filled to the brim

he drank from my cup, the cup of affliction
prepared in sin
sprinkled with condemnation
sweetened with bitterness 
spiced with evil all mixed to the brim
he took it and drank from it, leaving
me nothing of my deserve

              he drank from my cup and left non for me
              he drank the shame
              he drank the death
              he drank the curse
              he drank the affliction
              he drank the torment
              he emptied my cup

he drank from my cup and cried out father if it is possible take this cup away from me, yet not my wil lbe done
he drank from my cup
he drank from my cup and cried out father why have you forsaken me
he drank from my cup

              HE IS JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD
