Luke 11:39 New English Translation (NET Bible)

39 But the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the plate,

but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

Cup

Whatever comes my way seems quickly passing by.

Things I can’t control then I’ll bury in the sand.

Freedom must be paid and now I wonder: Why?

In the hyperbole that I drag forward in my hands.

Don’t you fret any beyond my nature’s calling?

Things will be alright if neglect what you can’t change.

You are part of the many in whatever is befalling.

Just stay in the light as shadows rearrange.

Uncertainty perplexed and destiny assured

The Hand that is holding me gently lifts me up.

Nothing now is vexed as the Spirit fully cures.

The flesh that hinders me while the Lord fills my cup.
