by Vaughn Roste

At God’s table, grace is freely given.			
At God’s table, hungry folk are fed.
Taste and see what God gives us from heaven:
Christ is here in wine and bread.

At God’s table, thirsty hearts are nourished,
At God’s table, joys and fears are shared.
Here, our empty souls can be replenished,
Broken hearts can be repaired.

At God’s table, we see with God’s vision,
To God’s table, wand’ring folk are led.
From God’s table, we all go forgiven.
God with us in wine and bread.
