Steven Curtis Chapman - The Invitation lyrics

rate me

In the palace in the land of mercy

The King looked down 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

And just as I turned to go

The gates swung open wide

And the King and His only Son

They invited me inside

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 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
