Another folk tune from Fr Kevin Bates, which can be heard in part here. This is a good example of creativity using the voice of God that should not be discouraged. Like many items at AOV, this can be bought separately.
Verse 1
Come to my table, taste of my Word.
Bring me the life that you’ve lived.
Bring in the dancing. Bring in the pain,
Bring me the whole of your journey.
Verse 2
The parts of the story no-one’s ever heard.
The times on the road you were scared.
Bring me the gifts no-one wanted to share.
Let’s open the whole of your journey.
Verse 3
There’s nothing in you that can’t taste my Word.
There’s nowhere out spirit can’t fly!
I’ve laughed in the dancing and cried in the pain.
I’ve loved the whole of your journey.
Verse 4
I’ve lived in the desert where hearts have run dry.
I’ve loved in the gaol of your pain.
I live in the poor and I give you my name.
I live the whole of your journey.
Verse 5
Remember my arms open wide on the tree.
Remember the tears in my eyes.
Remember the wonder when death fell away
and love called you back to the journey.
Verse 6
Come to my table, taste of my Word.
Bring me the life that you’ve lived.
Bring in the dancing. Bring in the pain,
Bring me the whole of your journey.
