The Table Is Laid (A Hymn)
by Ben Keyes
Southborough L'Abri, 2020
'The Table is Laid' is a hymn that I have been trying to finish writing for a long time. I am not convinced that it is quite done, but I thought I would offer it anyway in hopes that it might be an encouragement. The hymn is a prayer both of longing and of hope. The world is in desperate need of Christ's coming and every day we see brokenness that is not yet mended. But we also stand in a place of confidence in light of the battle already won be God. Ultimately the image of the table is our great hope- a feast at which each of us is truly expected!

The Table is Laid
We seek the Lord Christ
With faith that is dim
And hearts that half long
To stray away from Him
But the conquering King
holds the bruised and bent reed
And the flickering wick
He will fan into flame.
…We need you O Christ
The world brims with hate.
The sickness, the strife
Your church does not escape
May your children rise,
In the power of your love
In a world ripped apart,
But made one by your blood, and unite.
We love you O Christ
For what you have done
The defeat that you sought
And the victory you won
So that God’s enemies
Might abandon that fight-
O children of Heav’n,
Peace is your birthright…..
Our brother, your son
Has forged us this place,
In Your family O God.
We can long for your face
We approach Your great throne
Yet walk by your side
All wrongs they are known
But in Christ swept aside
And the chairs are pulled back
And each one bears a name:
Of a child of God.
O the table is laid.
