We Come To Your Feast
C G
We place up-on Your tab-le, a gleaming cloth of white,
C D
The weaving of our stor-ies, the fabric of our lives
G Em
The dreams of those be-fore us, the an-cient hopeful cries
C G l Am D G
The promise of our future, our needing and our nur-ture, lie here before our eyes.
C G
We come to your feast, we come to your feast,
Em A D
The young and the old, the frightened, the bold, the greatest and the least.
C G
We come to your feast, we come to your feast,
Am D
With the fruit of our lands, and the work of our hands,
G
We come to your feast
We place upon your table a humble loaf of bread
The gift of field and hill-side, the grain by which we’re fed
We come to taste the presence of Him on whom we feed
To strengthen and con-nect us, to chal-lenge and cor-rect us
To loving word and deed
Chorus
We place upon your table a simple cup of wine
The fruit of human la-bor, the gift of sun and vine
We come to taste the presence of him we claim as Lord
His dying and his living, His leading and his giving
His loving cup out-poured
Chorus
We gather round your table because we feel op-pressed
To stand beside our neigh-bors we name the stranger guest
The feast is spread be-fore us You bid us come and dine
The blessing we’ll un-cover In sharing we’ll discover,
Your substance and your sign
Chorus
