Mealtime & Table Grace

Be Present At Our Table – John Wesley

Be present at our table Lord.

Be here and everywhere adored.

These mercies bless and grant that we

May feast in paradise with Thee.

 

– John Wesley 1703-1791AD.  Some old Christians have sung this so many times they miss how incredible, how deep and profound these words are.  Stop one time and just pray it slowly, line by line, and soak up what is being said here.  For starters what does it mean that we can ask God to ‘be present at our table’?
