Gathering in community

Preparing for His Hungry Feast

Coming to Heavenly Father

Worshipping Christ, our Holy Priest

 

Traveling life’s difficult road

Hungering for peace in our hearts

Tasting fellowship with Jesus

Targeting us with grace-filled darts

 

Fulfilling hope from Father’s love

Joining at His holy table

Seeking lasting, peaceful comfort

Witnessing Bethlehem’s stable

 

Rejecting evil’s dark presence

Praising and worshipping our Lord

Filling our hunger from His feast

Riding Gospel’s train . . . all aboard!

From Matthew 5:6:  “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”

The hymn “We Come to the Hungry Feast” inspired the writing of this poem.  Some churches also use this tune as a communion hymn.

For us, jealousy isn’t attractive, but for God, it’s a holy attribute.  God is unhappy when we worship anyone besides Him.  Only He deserves our praise.

From James 4:5-6:  “Or do you suppose that it is for nothing that the scripture says, ‘God yearns jealously for the spirit that He has made to dwell in us’?  But He gives all the more grace.”

When you use your life for God’s glory, everything you do can become an act of worship.

From Exodus 20:2-3:  “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods before me.”

Genuine worship of God must be done “in spirit and truth.”

From John 4:23:  “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship Him.”

It is not enough for us to be where God is worshipped, if we do not ourselves worship Him.

From John 4:23-24:  “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him.  God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.

If you will not worship God seven days a week, you do not really worship Him on one day a week.

From John 4:23-24:  “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him.  God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Praising with faith the Sabbath, the Lord’s Day

But, our lives needing to connect in other ways

 

Worshipping each day, receiving God’s serenity

Setting aside daily moments, faithful identity

 

Reading Scripture from the Lord’s Holy Word

Praying, praising, giving thanks—voices heard

 

Coming to the Lord with sincere-filled thoughts

Spending time with Him, connecting life’s dots

 

Sowing seeds of worship and praise with our God

Transforming by His love, perfect and unflawed

 

Reaping abounding harvest, singing with gladness

Witnessing God’s sacred harmony, never sadness

 

Filling our hungry hearts, opening up our minds

Listening to our Lord, He comes and truly finds
