For so long have I followed Him Listening, longingly and alone in the crowd Often joyful for what I’ve heard Of this new kingdom for all Where all will be seated at table To dine together with the King Yet His invitation challenges me And looking deep inside I question How much do I trust this Son of David Why would he invite me of all Can I truly be a part of this great feast Many are invited but few accept Some striking down the invitation Am I like those who can enter with joy Or those who look down the hill at all below Can I really enter and sit at table with the Master? I too want to run at times but feel called Hoping to hear and feel for what I long To find fulfillment at His table To answer His call with humble gratitude Or will I join those who fear and push away Rejecting the message and refusing the call Rather than in trust, rejoicing and entering Help me to choose, I cry out Help me to take off my robe of doubt And put on the garment of belief
