Contemporary Worship Lyrics

LUK 14:12-14

English Lyrics

(Verse 1)

In a land where kindness reigns, a parable was told,

A feast of love and mercy, a story to unfold,

The host, he spoke with wisdom, to all who lent an ear,

A lesson in compassion, for everyone to hear.

(Chorus)

Oh, don't invite your friends or kin,

The rich and wealthy, don't let them in,

Invite the poor, the weak, the blind,

For in their blessing, true riches you'll find.

(Verse 2)

The banquet table's set, with love and grace to share,

Not for self-glory or praise, but for those in need of care,

The poor, the crippled, and the lame, the blind who cannot see,

Open your heart and welcome them, and blessed you shall be.

(Chorus)

Oh, don't invite your friends or kin,

The rich and wealthy, don't let them in,

Invite the poor, the weak, the blind,

For in their blessing, true riches you'll find.

(Verse 3)

For they cannot repay you, their gratitude unseen,

But God above, He knows your heart, and sees where love has been,

In the resurrection of the just, your reward will surely come,

For in acts of kindness, a heavenly treasure's won.

(Chorus)

Oh, don't invite your friends or kin,

The rich and wealthy, don't let them in,

Invite the poor, the weak, the blind,

For in their blessing, true riches you'll find.

(Outro)

So let us heed the parable, in every moment, every day,

Extend a hand to those in need, in our own loving way,

For when we follow this wise tale, our hearts are richly blessed,

In the banquet of compassion, we find eternal rest.
