Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:1 Jesus prayed before he died ...
Refrain
When we sing and when we cry, as we live and as we die:
to this table now we come, from the many make us one.
2 Love the world so loved by God ....
3 All alike at table share ...
4 Walk with all who walked before ....
5 Search the alleys for God’s guests ...
6 What if greed and hunger reign? ....
