Lyrics
\[Verse 1\] The table is set The dinner is warm The Master is calling Through wind and storm He sends out the word "Come eat at my place!" Prepared for the weary So full of His grace \[Chorus\] Oh, come to the feast! There’s room for us all! The great and the least Are answering the call! No price to be paid, His table is spread, With joy we are welcome, With love we are fed! \[Verse 2\] The first ones declined With excuses to spare "We’re busy with fields, We can't gather there!" They missed out on joy For things made of clay Too tied to the world To follow the Way \[Chorus\] Oh, come to the feast! There’s room for us all! The great and the least Are answering the call! No price to be paid, His table is spread, With joy we are welcome, With love we are fed! \[Verse 3\] The blind and the poor, The lost on the street, Were brought through the door To find a soft seat! The house must be full, The master decreed, His mercy reaches To every great need! \[Bridge\] He calls out to you From alleys and lanes He washes away All sorrow and pains No matter how far Or how lost you have been The Savior says, "Welcome, Come on safely in!" \[Verse 4\] So trust in the Lord Who died on the tree, His pardon is offered To you and to me! He calls you right now, Come just as you are, Accept Him as Savior, The bright Morning Star! \[Outro\] The table is ready... Come sit at His feet. In Jesus, our Savior, Our joy is complete. \[Fade out on gentle acoustic guitar\]
Study notes
Key Themes and Meaning • The Universal Invitation: The banquet represents God's salvation and the joy of His kingdom, which is offered generously to people. • Flawed Excuses: The first-invited guests (representing self-sufficient or religious insiders who rejected Jesus) make trivial or superficial excuses involving property, work, and family to decline. These show that earthly distractions can harden people against spiritual priorities. • Inclusion of the Outcasts: Angered by the rejection, the master commands his servant to bring in the "poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame" from the streets, and later those from the highways. This demonstrates that God's grace prioritizes the humble, the broken, and those society rejects. • Urgency and Choice: A refusal has permanent consequences—those who turn down the invitation exclude themselves from the feast. Responding to God requires active faith, humility, and placing Him above material or social ties. -Google
