Cup of Tea

A glass of milk, of water, and wine -
Which one that suits you best? 
Which do you prefer to drink? 
Me? The first two are my faves.

There on the center table stand
A cup of tea and a cup of coffee -
Take your pick and sip, 
As you enjoy watching TV.

A mug of liquor, a sachet of drugs, 
And a pack of cigarettes -
Are you going to seriously damage
Both your health and wealth? 

Listening to the sound of music, 
Painting, or writing songs of love -
Whatever is your plan of activity, 
Make sure it pleases the Lord above.

I'll vow to fear the Almighty, 
I'll depart from the road of iniquity; 
Intensive obedience to His Word
Is my cup of tea.
