Life Recipe Song

Take this worry from my head
Mix it with the blood you shed
Blend it with the psalms I read
Strain the mixture I'll be fed

Reduce life's dismal toil
Set to simmer, do not boil
Feed me love my daily bread 
As I lie my weary head

Add a cup of mercy please
Gently knead sin from mans list
Drizzle kindness seeds and freeze
Roll sin out to the abyss

Grate in zest of passion flour
Let it rise with your power
Mix it with the Blood you shed
Nourish me my daily bread

Gently roast with your light
Loves aroma vapors mist
Wafting 'bove earths greediness
Its the reason we exist

Let the devil shake his fist
As we await our final tryst
Our progressions not remiss
So grateful for your tenderness

Pour your strength into my core
Stir in wisdom to endure
Sprinkle peace in more and more
A dash of discipline, I implore 

Shake up your love that I adore
Spread your son to reassure 
Our Saviors icing and allure 
You crushed the devil we abhor

Lamb evaporates guilt and foe
Mixed in with the blood you shed
Patina cauldron is on low 
Blended with the psalms I read

Bubbling mustard seeds to grow
Strain the mixture I am fed
Simmer grace and bring to glow
Ignite my life dear daily bread

The chorus could be a statement that reflects the theme of the poem...
