These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Waiting for the Lasting Cup

It's a gift to sit and sip
a cup of warmish tea.
Even 'fore we leave the tip
the peaceful moments be.

But we know it's bound to come,
the time, that we must go.
Have we finished all the sum?
Do we fully know?

Some day in Eternity,
we'll know as we are known.
Some day pains of the past we'll free.
In Christ, we're lasting grown.

We'll see the scars, that saved from sin,
that nevermore can claim
we're what we were, now blest in Him.
Forgotten all the blame.

The lasting cup for friendship's sake,
and gratitude unbound
will bless The One, Who did our past take
to make us in Him FOUND.
