lyrics
Based on Luke 14:16–24
VERSE 1
There’s a party for us and it’s free, free, free
The Host said He’s paying for everything
The doors are open wide for everyone!
It’s a banquet with all of our favorite foods
Friendship and music and all things good
The countdown to our gladness has begun
Has begun
CHORUS
It’s a gracious invitation
To the Savior’s celebration
Love and joy are waiting
And He says, “Come!”
So, we will come!
VERSE 2
There is joy to be had and it’s now, now, now
A feast to be shared with the God of Wow!
And there’s no telling what He has prepared!
Imagine it all and then think again
His Son gave His life to invite us in
And best of all the invite can be shared
Can be shared
VERSE 3
But some are invited and just won’t go
They make their excuses and answer “No!”
They think that they can find a better feast
They waited too long and they lost their chance
But the Host of the party has awesome plans
To invite the hungry, weary and the least
And the least
LAST CHORUS
It’s a gracious invitation
To the Savior’s celebration
Love and joy are waiting
And He says, “Come!”
There’s no hesitation
No need for debating
Love and joy are waiting
And He says, “Come!” So, we will come!
