His Cup Pours Out

In a world of worry and strife

There is only One who gives us life

When I am feeling lost 

I remember the cost

At the Cross I cannot despair

But lift up this holy prayer

By faith alone I believe 

Without any doubt

He is the One who died for me

His cup poured out

No longer pretending 

For I know the ending

Heaven awaits the righteous

Unworthy am I but He is just

Saved only by His shed blood

Nothing I have ever done

By faith alone I believe

Without any doubt

I am redeemed

His cup poured out

You are joy and ultimate grace

Deserving of my forever praise

Lord Jesus, hold me close to You

Never give up Your pursuit

Your cup pours out on me

  “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.”

                       Luke 22:20 ESV

I have been writing poetry since I was a teenager, but it wasn’t until a few of years ago that my writing became more spiritual and at the same time more prolific. As I shared my poetry with my wife, Hannah, and a few good friends, they encouraged me to place the poems in book form. My first book endeavor was “Because Of Him”, published in 2017. After hearing Sammy Murimi, the director of Share International Inc., speak at our church, I decided that the proceeds from that book would be donated to Share. In 2018, Hannah and I were privileged to go to Turkanaland in Kenya on a mission trip with Share. It was a life-changing experience for us both. Some of the inspiration from that trip is expressed in my second book, “His Cup Pours Out”. I include scripture verses with my poems because most of the poems I have written were inspired by reading God’s Word. I hope that as you visit this blog, you will meditate on the scripture verses and write down your prayers and thoughts for the week. My goal for this project has always been that God would be glorified! Robert M Hinnen
