Lyrics
A Place At The Table

If there's a place at the table
For the son, wild and free
Who returned to his father
Wind-tossed, world-tossed, and weary
If there's a place at the table
For that child to be received
Then, I hope there's a place at the table for me

If there's a place at the table
For the man who would not see
'Til the road to Damascus
Lit him up, shook him up, and set his soul free
If there's a place at the table
For that man who's been redeemed
Then, I hope there's a place at the table for me

Lord, help me to remember
Your mercy, Your grace
When to my door comes a stranger
And I know not his face
Help me lay my table
With the love you've shown me
And, Lord let there be a place
At Your table for me
And, Lord let there be a place
At Your table for me
