Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
- Psalm 23:5
Before the throne of God above,
We come with open hands!
Pleading for the ones we know,
Overcome by life’s demands!
To take their cup of suffering,
And offer grace and peace…
It is a prayer of the soul,
Poured out in this release!
Prepare a table for them, Lord,
Their hungry souls to feed…
Prepare a table in your place,
Where sorrows will secede!
Before the throne of God above,
We come with open hearts!
Knowing how the rains destroy,
We bring the broken parts!
So many out there, lost and tried,
Despaired beyond belief…
With hunger that would not subside,
While praying for relief!
Prepare a table for them, Lord,
Their bodies ache with grief!
Prepare a table in your midst,
To offer some relief!
Before the throne of God above,
We come with open hands!
Offering this very soul,
To honor your commands!
