Man’s Rules at God’s Table – v3

Arrogant clay
saying to the potter
who we find worthy
who He can invite
to sit at His table

How can we impose our will
how can Man set rules
rules at the Lord’s table
that some would be segregated
separated from his grace

That some are deemed unworthy
that any would stand in judgment
telling the creator who to sit at the table
Man’s rules at God’s table
an abuse of power

Meting out God’s grace
as if it was theirs to give
when all of us are sinners
coming to Christ’s table
a prayer that we will live
