The Cup

What does the wrath of G-d mean?
Destruction of life and earth?
Blood, death, and pain?

Hear the coming commotion?
the horse riding on wings?
Hear the sword, gun, bomb?
the cup over flowing?
Hear the hand stretched out?
ready to grab and crush?

What does the wrath of G-d mean?
Getting just what we asked for?
separation and divorce?

Feel the gulf, the rift?
the incalculable distance?
Feel the face turning?
the darkness falling?
Feel the hand withdrawing?
true 'freedom' at last?

What does the wrath of G-d mean?
a darkening sky? a turn of head?
a cup of pain and death?

See the tree, the crown?
the nails dug deep in flesh?
See the blood, the wine?
the dice rolling on the ground?
See the head drop, the chest fall?
the life ending, wrath ending?

What does the mercy of G-d mean?
getting just what we need?
a yoke, a easy burden?

Know the love reaching down
know the cross, the blood
know the one who 
took the cup,
took the wraith
took the death
