O Won't You Come to the Banquet by Sister Carol Juckem
O Won’t You Come to the Banquet
Refrain: O won’t you come to the banquet? Come to the banquet. O won’t you come to the banquet? The Lord is calling you.
Verse 1: Excuses, excuses: I too busy. I’m too tired and I want to go home.
Verse 2: Will you help me? Will you love me? Will you take the time to be my friend? Will you come again?
Verse 3: Each day we’re called to the banquet hall. The Bread of Life that we share says that we must care.
