Feast of Praise
Why do you care for us?
Why all the tenderness
Right here . . . Right now?
Dear Father, Spirit, Son
It can't be what we've done for you
that draws us to saying
Let us serve you a Feast of Praise
A table piled high with our kept promises
Filling your chalice with love
and waiting on you waiting on you
Right here. Right now.
What wisdom on your part!
your way to win our hearts
Right here . . . Right now.
Your kindness brings us to
Repent in grief before you
A grief that brings us to saying
Chorus
Your kindness calls us to repent
Your patience leads us to relent
And lay our sins before you so you may destroy them
Even though our righteousness
Is foul and frail and it alone cannot prevail
Ah! Your perfect sacrifice will purify us.
Your work in us unfolds
You search and clean our souls
Right here . . . Right now.
We'll learn to hate our sin
May we never fall that far again
We'll turn to you even then saying
Chorus
Romans 2:4 . . . "God's kindness leads you toward repentance . . . "
