The Cup of Blessing

1 Corinthians · Musique Concrète

[Verse 1] Under the cloud and through divided sea, all ate the bread, all drank from the Rock. Yet graves in the desert remember the cost when privilege spoke but obedience was lost. [Refrain] The cup of blessing, communion in blood; the bread we break makes the many one. One table, one body, one Lord above, we cannot drink from two rival cups. [Verse 2] Do not desire what turned hearts away. Do not test Christ or murmur his name. The stories were written to warn those who stand: take heed to your feet in the wilderness sand. [Bridge] No trial has found you beyond human ground. God remains faithful when walls close around. With every temptation he measures a door, a way to endure what you could not before. [Verse 3] Therefore flee idols; do not linger near. The table of demons has no portion here. The Lord is not weaker, his jealousy not small; choose the cup of blessing, and answer his call. [Outro] One bread broken. One body made one.
