Can I get a refill?

Close to the end, I've been sippin through my straw

Filling myself with the cool refreshment of Grace and Faith

Now I’m at the end of my straw, ran dry I've got nothing left

 Desperately searching through the ice trying to slurp down every last bit

Take the lid off, shake down the ice and get any last drops… but my once overflowing cup of Grace and faith is completely empty

So, God I’m askin can I get a refill?

I begin to embarrassingly fumbling around for change feeling it’s my only hope, like a street performer’s hat of tips.

As I finally finger out that last coin stuck in the corner of my wallet and shuffle the change in my hand and I put it up to pay


In front of my eyes is my cup already full, overflowing actually and all I can do is feel peace and relief, my shoulders relax, I take a deep breath, smile and say a “thank you” that’s smothered in humility
