And the tablewill be wide.And the welcomewill be wide.And the armswill open wideto gather us in.And our heartswill open wideto receive.And we will comeas children who trustthere is enough.And we will comeunhindered and free.And our achingwill be metwith bread.And our sorrowwill be metwith wine.And we will open our handsto the feastwithout shame.And we will turntoward each otherwithout fear.And we will give upour appetitefor despair.And we will tasteand knowof delight.And we will become breadfor a hungering world.And we will become drinkfor those who thirst.And the blessedwill become the blessing.And everywherewill be the feast.© Jan Richardson, Janrichardson.com.
