Come to the Table
Come to the table, Beloved;
Come and see what our God
Has
done for us.
We, who thought we were wise,
Condemned him as a fool.
And we, who thought we were strong,
Condemned him for being weak.
And we, who thought we were holy,
Condemned him as a sinner.
This is he who spoke wisdom into
darkness
Before the fledgling universe was
bathed in light,
Who wrapped himself in the words of
prophets
And
of saints;
And now his wisdom has forever borne
The
foolishness of us all.
This is he who breathed life into
unliving clay
And by his power called the world
into being,
Who shook the earth with his
footsteps
And
opened the sea with his breath;
And now his strength has forever
borne
The
weakness of us all.
This is he who dwells in
unapproachable splendor,
Whose radiance lights the courts of
heaven,
This great and mighty Judge before
whom
All
of creation will bow;
And now his holiness has forever
borne
The
transgression of us all.
Remember these things, Beloved:
Though we lacked wisdom,
He
has taught us his truth;
And though we were weak,
He
has given us his strength;
And though we were sinful,
He
has made us holy.
The Ancient of Days
Has
made his dwelling among men,
And
we have seen his glory.
Come to the table, Beloved;
Come and see what our God
Has
done for us.
