Banquet

The call goes out throughout the land,
For the King’s banquet is at hand.
All who hear are invited to come near,
And partake of the banquet of grace.
Come dine on the everlasting feast,
Of love that will put your soul at peace.
Come as you are, in your rags or your riches,
Whether you live in mansions or dirty ditches.
Will you join in the rejoicing,
Of those who have found life’s great blessing?

All are welcome, the price is paid,
By the King’s only son, who obeyed,
The wishes of his loving father,
To make your suffering no longer.
Come feast upon the bread and cup,
Over which the son broke and bled,
His own life, a sacrifice he made,
For the sake of you, the ones who are invited.

The King’s banquet is at hand,
The doors open, the table set,
Will you accept your invitation,
to this banquet of grace?
