Contemporary

A simple song of devotion. Main video is from Pilgrim Media TV and used by kind permission, but it had to be shortened somewhat because the images and the music were not on sync. First overlay image for the title background is not a Norwegian fjord, but somewhere else: Serbia!

The love of god is enduring and ever on the trail to bring grace to the tired, the lost, and yes, the faithful. The Bible paints an inspiring picture of Christ knocking on our door, calling our name. Get this, if we hear Him, and let Him in, He will come in, sit, eat, and be with us. Love invites, and Grace sets the table Rev 3:20 Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.

Grace and mercy shall endure,
Always faithful, ever sure
Come. Find, all you're look'n for
Love stands knock'n, open the door

CHORUS
COME AND DINE, GRACE HAS SET THE TABLE
BE SATISFIED, THE TIRED, LOST AND FAITHFUL
LOVE INVITES, AND GRACE SETS THE TABLE

A Father's love, won't pass away,
A promise kept, the ransom paid,
Draw near. Come hear your name
Stand in awe. Such amazing grace

BRIDGE
Oh, I am going to follow Jesus
Yes, I am gonna follow Him
Yes, I am going to follow Jesus
Yes I am, Yes I am

Chorus

TAG
Grace sets the table (X3)
Love He invites, come sit at the table

This is a song that filled the lips of young people in Norway when the Jesus-Revolution swept through their ranks. I have speeded up this recording to make it more like the way we sang it then. Personally I have always felt it should have a Calypso-style arrangement and backing.
This recording is from Vaskvik media, and used with their permission, but I have superimposed it onto a Riff-station analysis in case anyone wants to try playing and singing it.

English text:
When I my life to Jesus gave,
My sin was swallowed in His grave
But I myself was raised to live abundantly
A transformation of the soul
A life made wholesome and made whole
And all my frame
He set a-singing, glad and free:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
My sin was sunk without a trace at Golgotha!

The gaudy baubles of this life
Gave only bitterness and strife
And lonely sorrow all the
hollow wage of sin.
But God has made all things anew
Made good His promise tried and true:
My life lit up when I invited Jesus in.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
My sin was sunk without a trace at Golgotha!

To thank you for your wond'rous deed
More than a lifetime I will need
How can my heart hope to
express my joyful praise?
My life I place at your command
Right till the end, when I will stand
In Paradise and see your face through endless days
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
My sin was sunk without a trace at Golgotha!
