Perfect Lamb, Now slaughtered
Holy King, dethroned
Spitting, mocking, killing,
Yet still His heart they owned
Ripping, tearing open flesh,
Blood freely flowing down
Laughing even harder,
As they placed the thorny crown
Wincing, crushed, and dying,
He prayed, “Your will, not mine,”
Forgetting, humbling all His self,
That His Father’s love may shine
Watching His created,
Pierce nails into His hands
Beat Him til’ His shaky legs,
Could barely even stand
Raising up the cross so high,
His blood did trickle down
Screaming out, “I love you all!”
Without a single sound
Perfect Lamb, Now Risen
Holy King, Rethroned
Sitting as His Father’s side,
In their Heavenly abode

Welcome! We are so glad you stopped by. Come Fill Your Cup is a group of Christian ladies dedicated to equipping women for study and service. We know you are busy and that life’s hectic pace pulls you in so many directions, but you can’t truly be the woman God desires unless you take time to fill your own cup…not with spa days (though we love a good spa!) or the latest novel…but with God’s Holy Word. We want to help you with that! Our goal is to reach you in the midst of your busy day and give you encouragement, education, and fellowship as you strive to live the life God has laid before you. Our prayer is that we can help fill your cup so that you, in turn, can overflow to all those around you. So, as we like to say…come fill your cup, and let it overflow!
