The Banquet
by Barbara Philbrook

The banquet is planned, the invitations have been made.
The place cards by each setting have been laid .

The menu has already been carefully selected,
and the musicians are in the process of being directed.

Our Hosts are excited as the time draws near,
of course They knew long ago which of us would be there.

A banquet in the presence of the Heavenly Host,
at the head of the table - the Father, Son & Holy Ghost.

A banquet of monumental celebration,
in honor of all who accepted Their gift of salvation.

Come sit at the table, enjoy the repast.
We'll all be together again at last.

The invitations are still being extended today,
but no man knoweth when they'll be taken away.

Accept now before it's too late,
then we'll all go together through heaven's gate.

The banquet is planned and soon will begin,
please reserve your place so you will be allowed in.
