I
SOME PEOPLE LIVE LIKE ORPHANS
YOU'D THINK THEY DIDN'T HAVE A DIME.
WHEN FATHER HAS A TABLE SET FULL ALL THE TIME.
THERE'S ROOM TODAY FOR EVERYONE NO NEED
TO WAIT IN LINE CAN'T YOU HEAR THE MASTER CALLING,
LITTLE CHILDREN COME AND DINE.
CHORUS
I'M FEASTING FROM THE TABLE MY FATHER HAS SPREAD.
DRINKING AT THE FOUNTAIN, EATING THAT LIVING BREAD.
FRIEND I BELIEVE THE BIBLE JUST AS MY LORD HAS SAID.
BLESSED ARE THEY THAT HUNGER AND THIRST
FOR THEY SHALL BE FED.
II
IT SEEMS TODAY SOME GO TO CHURCH
BUT LOST THEIR APPETITE.
THE LORD MOVES DOWN AND SETS A FEAST
BUT THEY NEVER EAT A BITE.
THE TABLE'S FILLED WITH GOOD THINGS
OH MY WHAT A SIGHT.
FROM THE WAY THEY PASS IT BY
THEY MUST BE ON A DIET.
III
THANK GOD I'VE LEFT OLD BABYLON
AND I'VE MOVED TO CANAAN'S LAND.
I'VE CROSSED ON OVER JORDAN
LED BY THE MASTER'S HAND.
I'M FEASTING ON GREEN PASTURE
OBEYING THE LORD'S COMMAND
NO MORE TO DWELL IN BONDAGE
OR IN THE DESERT SAND.
