The Invitation Lyrics

The Invitation lyrics

In the palace in the land of mercy

The king looked out from his throne

He saw the sick and the homeless and hungry

He saw me lost and without
hope

And moved with compassion

He sent out his only son

With
the invitation to come



This is your invitation

Come just the
way you are

Come find what your soul has been longing for

Come find
your peace

Come join the feast

Come in this is your invitation



So I stood outside the gates and trembled

In my rags of
unworthiness

Afraid to even stand at a distance

In the presence of
holiness

But just as I turned to go

The gates swung open wide

And the king and his only son

They invited me inside



So
now will you come with me

To where the gates swing open wide

The
king and his only son

Are inviting us inside



This is our
invitation

Come sinner as you are

Come find what your soul has been
longing for

Come find your peace

Come join the feast

Come in
this is your invitation

This is our invitation

This is the
invitation
