Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: GP22000 #102 (2000) Lyrics: 1 The church is like a table,
a table that is round.
It has no sides or corners,
no first or last, no honors;
here people are in oneness
and love together bound.
2 The church is like a table,
set in an open house;
no protocol for seating,
a symbol of inviting,
of sharing, drinking, eating;
an end to "them" and "us."
3 The church is like a table,
a table for a feast
to celebrate the healing
of all excluded feeling,
(while Christ is serving, kneeling,
a towel round his waist).
4 The church is like a table,
where every head is crowned
as guests of God created,
all are to each related;
the whole world is awaited
to make the circle round. Topics: The Church Languages: English Tune Title: [The church is like a table]
