about

Table Grace - A disabled man, a son of the former regime, is hunted down by the new, victorious king. What do you suppose will happen next? See I Samuel 20:15; II Samuel 4:4; II Samuel 9:1-13.

lyrics

Table Grace
by Kenneth E. Robertson

Dropped by his nurse, the age of five
Sustained a wound that crippled both his feet for life
His dad a prince, grandfather king
Both killed in war, his life without a signet ring
His home a desert ghost town, no riches to behold
Sheltered by another, pitied life so hard, so cold

A soldier’s knock, upon the door
At last they’d come, his worst fear now their wrath and sword
Eliminate the rival clan
The war was done, the king had found his wanted man
His one and only son was all the ransom he had left
The best that he could hope for was a quick and painless death

Lift
As he fell in fearful reverence before the mighty king
The unexpected words changed everything

Chorus
In remembrance of your father who was my best friend, you see
I deed you his inheritance, caretakers and employees
In my love for him among my sons you’ll find a special place
Won’t you join us here for supper and enjoy our Table Grace

2nd Lift
Beneath that pure white tablecloth battered feet would disappear
Taking with them all the empty pain and lonely years

(Repeat Chorus)

Another day, the end of time
The Lord has promised, kept alive in song and rhyme
We’re waiting here, but looking there
Sometimes it seems so far we’re tempted not to care

3rd Lift
But on that day we’ll kneel before the King
And strain to hear the words we hope will change our everything

2nd Chorus
In remembrance of my Son, Who was your best friend, you see
Partake of His inheritance, take your rest and be at peace
And in My love for Him We’ve made for you a very special place
Won’t you join us here for supper and enjoy Our Table Grace
