The Table
Feasting with Royalty: Discovering Heart's Nourishment
Lyrics
It challenges my heart
Feeling emotionally moved or provoked by something.
When I'm reminded that
Reflecting on a reminder and its impact.
The first place he led me to was the table
Recalling the initial significant place guided by someone.
Why would a King invite me here?
Questioning the reason behind being invited by a King.
Would He eat with me or would He leave?
Uncertainty about whether the King will share a meal or depart.
Insecurity and anxiety
Feelings of insecurity and anxiety.
Fiercely scrawled questions on my heart
Intense questions etched deeply on the heart.
Until His presence at my side spoke rest to my soul
Experiencing calm and peace when the King's presence is acknowledged.
A weighty comfort settled
A sense of substantial comfort settling within.
And I leant into it
Leaning into the comfort provided.
This Father Friend
Referring to the King as a Father and Friend.
This Royal Lover
Describing the King as a Royal Lover.
Wanted to remain
The desire of the King to remain present.
And his invitation to me
The King's invitation to reciprocate and stay at the table.
Was to do the same
The directive to emulate the King's action of staying.
Every breath my lungs had ever held
Every breath taken is devoted to affirming allegiance to the King.
Was placed inside only to be released before the King
The breath is released as a sincere and trusting affirmation.
As a deep and trusting, 'Yes'
Acceptance of the invitation to dwell at the table.
My acceptance at his bidding to dwell at the table
Recognition of being welcomed to stay at the table.
And after all this time
Acknowledging the passage of time spent at the table.
Whether it's been a day or a forever
Expressing the enduring nature of the experience, whether short or long.
This one thing I have discovered
Discovering that sitting with the King provides essential nourishment.
Sitting with the King was all the nourishment
The realization that being in the King's presence fulfills the heart's needs.
My heart ever required
Understanding that sitting with the King is spiritually fulfilling.
