He desires that His house be full,
He bids them all to come,
A great supper lay before them,
The servant invites them, everyone

Their lives are just too busy,
They can't give up precious time,
They won't give up everything,
To come to Him and dine

O Lord, I know your calling,
Your Word is everywhere!
Help us to surrender all
And make You our only care!

Blessed is he that shall eat 
bread in the kingdom of God. 

Luke 14

Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: 

 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. 

 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 

 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. 

 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. 

 So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 

 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 

 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
