Sweet are the days whenever we meet,
Gathered there near the mercy-seat.
His grace provides a sweet perfume,
When, with Christ, we commune,
Together, we gather, to renew,
Those things we all hold True.
How fortunate to gather, are we,
In His presence, here to see,
Truth, as if from the Savior’s lips
So that each soul, now equips,
Himself to seek and find the lost,
Because sweet Jesus paid the cost.
Sweet are these days,
Touched by grace,
For this reason, we all embrace
The gift of life which came by love
And builds for us, our home above.
Sweet Jesus is our only friend,
Whose promise holds good to the end.

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!
Yes, sweet are the days as Christians!! Thank you for your lovely poem.
