make a place for the forgotten – v2


make a place for the forgotten
for the stranger, those different,
for the homeless, the lost
for the other among us
for those who could never
repay us, those who could not
offer us an invitation
a place at the table with them

Offer a place to the stranger
the refugee, the alien, asylum seekers,
to the lost struggling, living among you
the other walking in your midst;
Show them the love of Jesus,
the sacrifice of the Christ;
Offer a place to the other
a seat at the table of God.

Offer a place to the other
the stranger, the despised, the reviled,
to the immigrant, the illegal, the migrant,
the least the last, and the lost;
Set a seat at the table
to those who are unable
those who can never repay
your mercy, your grace.
