I’m taking a day’s break from Advent/Christmas songs to feature We Have Been Called To The Feast from Matt Searles’ Watches Of The Night album.
We shared the Lord’s Supper at MGPC today, and this song reflects some of what we experienced there.
EMU music subscribers received a copy of this album last week, so hopefully a wider group of people are discovering his music.
The lyrics:
1.
We have been called to the feast
To come without money and eat
There’s strength for the weary and hope for the poor
Here at your table, O Lord
2.
We’re welcomed with arms open wide
You feed us with bread and with wine
Your mercy is seen and your promise is heard
Here at your table, O Lord
Chorus
Blessed are all
You have called to the table
The lost and least
Will taste and see
You are faithful, forever faithful
3.
The wolf will lie down with the lamb
Your glory will cover the land
We taste of your goodness, the riches in store
Here at your table, O Lord
