THE INVITATION

There's a feast and you're invited.
Will you come?

But I can't go in there like this
In these rags. I'm soiled and smelly
I'm all dirty from the places I have been.
The Master of the feast knew that.
He has nice new clothes all ready
For you to wear.
There's a feast and you're invited.
Will you come?

I don' know this Master of the Feast. I've heard of Him
In His fine big house with all things good,
but I don't know Him.
He knows you. He sent me here on purpose
to find you and invite you.
There's a feast and you're invited.
Will you come?

But I haven't any money and I don't know what it costs.
There's no way for me to pay for this.
It will cost your dirty rags,
It will cost your hunger and your thirst.
It will cost your homeless wandering
and your restless weariness.
All these things He'll take from you.
There's a feast and you're invited.
Will you come?

But I do not understand it. What does He want with me?
I've gone against everything He's about.
I've disrespected Him and broken all His laws.
He has records set against me
Don't you know?
He will cancel all those records. He's already paid your debts.
There's a feast and you're invited.
Will you come?

But why would He invite me?
Why on earth would He choose me?
Aren't there enough good people for His feast?
He wants you because He loves you,
It will not be complete without you.
He's loved you from the beginning and He wants you in His house
There's a place all ready for you. Everything's prepared.
There's a feast and you're invited.
Will you come?
