The song 'Come to the Table' speaks to the theme of inclusiveness and redemption in the Christian faith. It portrays a picture of grace that invites everyone, regardless of their past or present circumstances, to join in fellowship. The table serves as a metaphor for the place where people receive grace, symbolized by their inclusion alongside the Savior. The lyrics emphasize that all are welcome, from sinners to saints, and that one's burdens and shames can be left behind. It is an invitation to experience freedom and redemption, to sit down and be set free by the transformative power of love and mercy.
We all start on the outside The outside looking in This is where grace begins We were hungry we were thirsty With nothing left to give Oh the shape that we were in Just when all hope seemed lost Love opened the door for us He said come to the table Come join the sinners who have been redeemed Take your place beside the Savior Sit down and be set free Come to the table Come meet this mightly crew of misfits These liars and these thieves There's no one unwelcome here That sin and shame that you brought with you You can leave it at the door And let mercy draw you near So, come to the table Come join the sinners who have been redeemed Take your place beside the Savior Sit down and be set free Come to the table Come to the table To the thief and to the doubter To the hero and the coward To the prisoner and the soldier To the young and to the older All who hunger all who thirst All the last and all the first All the paupers and the princess All who fail, you've been forgiven All who dream and all who suffer All who loved and lost another All the chained and all the free All who follow all who lead Anyone who's been let down All the lost you have been found All who have been labeled right or wrong To everyone who hears this song Oh Come to the table Come join the sinners you have been redeemed Take your place beside the Savior Sit down and be set free Oh Sit down and be set free Come to the table Come to the table Sit down and be set free Come to the table
