The meal was ready, tables laid The servant brought the call Come, everything is ready now The welcome was for all But fields and work had claimed their day They turned the offered feast away Go through the streets and bring them in The ones who can’t repay Bring in the poor, the blind, the lame The ones we pass each day The servant came, there’s room for more Then take the call beyond the door There’s room at the table The invitation stands Jesus, You call us to Your feast With mercy in Your hands We come to You, we find our home And make Your welcome known We know the ways we turn aside The things we won’t release You call us from our crowded lives We hunger for Your peace Forgive our pride, receive us here Your love has brought the distant near There’s room at the table The invitation stands Jesus, You call us to Your feast With mercy in Your hands We come to You, we find our home And make Your welcome known You broke the bread and poured the cup You gave Yourself for us You wore the thorns, You bore our sin Your body on the cross Now risen Lord, You meet us here We share Your life as we draw near One bread, one body, gathered here One Spirit moving through us all You give us strength to love and serve We rise together at Your call There’s room at the table The invitation stands Jesus, You call us to Your feast With mercy in Your hands We come to You, we find our home And make Your welcome known Into the streets, across the town To those who think they don’t belong The welcome we received from You Becomes the welcome we pass on
