Lyrics:
Look Who Gathers at Christ’s Table
Look who gathers at Christ’s table
Hear the stories that they bring
Some are weeping; some are laughing
Some have songs they want to sing
Others ask why they’re invited
Burdened by the wrong they’ve done
Christ insists they all are welcome
There is room for everyone
Clouds of light surround the table
Ancient followers appear
Saints confessing how they wrestled
With their guilt, their doubt and fear
Peter tells of his denying
Christ was ever in his sight
Paul relates his fruitless efforts
To obliterate the light.
Their sad stories are repeated
In a thousand different ways
But they share one thing in common
They all end in thanks and praise
For the host who has invited
North and south and east and west
To converge around this table
Where all life is fed and blest
Bring your joy and bring your sadness
And prepare to be surprised
By the host whose hands are wounded
Who will open wide your eyes
When he blesses bread and breaks it
Truth and manna from above
And then passes wine that wakens
In your heart the taste of love
God Is Among Us
You'll find me with the broken and the weak
In the spaces in between
You'll hear my voice cry out with those who weep
Only if you're listening
Chorus:
Whatever you do for the least of these
You do it unto me
You'll find me with the ones without a voice
The forgotten and ignored
My blessing is on those who love the poor
Will you open up the door
Chorus 2x
Hallelujah, hallelujah
God is among us, God is among us
Repeat
God is among us, God is among us
God is among us, God is among us
Won’t Turn Back
My Jesus walks with me on my journey
He will guide though the way gets steep
His loving breast is always downy
He will lead me over the deep
I won’t turn back
Lord, I won’t turn back
Lord, I won’t turn back anymore
Sometimes the way seems stormy
And the road gets rocky
But I won’t turn back anymore
My Lord has been so graceful as I've traveled
Through this world, this old world of strife
He promised that he'd never leave me
But will guide through eternity
Let come what may
I'll serve my dear savior
And his grace will support my soul
And when my race on earth is over
I will go where ages shall roll
Shall Tribulation or Distress (One Thing Remains)
Shall tribulation or distress
Shall persecution, fire, or sword
Or any peril of this world
Or even death, or even death
Shall any power of earth or heaven
Divide us from your love, oh Christ
Repeat
Shall illness, hunger, or despair
Shall lonely grief or anxious fears
Or deeds of hatred and disdain
Or even death, or even death
Shall any power of earth or heaven
Divide us from your love, oh Christ
Repeat
Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me
Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me
Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me, your love
Repeat
No, neither angel hosts nor thrones
Nor height nor depth of evil’s reach
Nor present things, nor things to come
Not even death, not even death
Not any power of earth or heaven
Can part us from your love, oh Christ
Repeat
