Drink the Dregs of Disappointment

I'll bear any cost 

You are worth any loss

oh how I long to with Jacob proclaim

short and bitter have been my days

for I'm just a pilgrim 

I am not at home

but in a world of sorrow 

I am never alone

so I will drink the dregs of disappointment

time and time again

I will cry each bitter tear it takes

to learn more of my beloved Friend

I'll sip this cup with joy 

broken hearted though I be

for I know the blood of Jesus

is enough to ransom me

I will sing in exaltation

to the God over every nation

longing for the day when every tongue shall sing His praise

and I'll join in exaltation with the dead He raised

so bury me with Jesus

and let a new man come up whole

oh my Saviour take control

more of Him and less of me

I won't let go my Lord

I will not let go till You bless me

so I will drink the dregs of disappointment

for I'll be not disappointed long

there's a day that I look forward too 

when the sleepers rise to join our song

so however bitter is the disappointment 

I know I'm not alone

the disappointment just reminds me

how I long to be taken home

as a pilgrim I will sojourn

till my days on earth be gone

don't pass me by Lord Jesus

when You come to bring us home

my love for You is stronger

every day that I must roam

I can handle disappointments

but this is only by Your grace

so please don't pass me by Lord Jesus

I long to see Your holy day

and if I should be lost my dear Lord Jesus

I cannot bear such disappointment

I cannot lose my place with You

for I want nothing but to sing Your praise

yea to sing a new song Lord for You

oh join in angelic exaltation

of the one I know is Truth

for they'll be no disappointments

so long as I stay focused on You
