“The greatest enemy of hunger for God is not poison but

apple pie. It is not the banquet of the wicked that dulls our

appetite for heaven, but endless nibbling at the table of the

world. For all the ills that Satan can do, when God describes

what keeps us from the banquet table of his love, it boils

down to this: a piece of land, a yoke of oxen, and a wife.”

~ John Piper

Though you may be have no money, though you may be feel unworthy,

in your strength or in your weakness you are welcome, come.

See, you are an honoured guest, from constant serving you may rest; so

sit you down, be fed and blessed, for you are welcome, come.

3. Come to the banquet, there’s a place for you.

Woman, wise one, mother, maiden, see your plate with food is laden

and your place is set and waiting, you are welcome, come.

Worker, father, little boy, old man or youth without employ, come

rest your worry, here is joy, and you are welcome, come.

Whether, you’ve been lost or faithful, whether you’ve been wise or wasteful,

here’s a place of rest and grace, and you are welcome, come.

6. Come to the banquet, there’s a place for you.

Here is one who runs to meet you, loving arms stretched out to greet you.

Do not let your fear defeat you. You are welcome, come.

7. Come to the banquet, there’s a place for you.

Willing hands have made this bread with yeast and salt and labour shared.

Let all the hungry ones be fed. It’s time for feasting, come.

8. Come to the banquet, there’s a place for you.

Abundant wine, enough for all! Our generous, loving host has called.

The cup of blessing now is poured for sweet communion, come.

Come to the banquet, there’s a place for you.
